Busy time of year for festivals and obscure holidays - today's celebration was Cinco de Mayo, which we didn't do much with sadly. For one, Daddy's constitution of late has not been able to handle that sort of food. Which is a shame really, because I do like the spicy stuff. Madison did watch a bit of "The Three Caballeros" this morning, which is always funny at the end - it's such a normal movie plot line until the very end when it seems the writers sort of went berserk. You'd have to see it for yourself, actually.
The other event of the day was the Kentucky Derby, which we hope to see in person some time soon. We did have a few friends go this year, and it must have been neat to see. A long shot won the contest, and there was lots of atmosphere there, good weather and of course some ridiculous hats. If we ever went, Daddy would get Mommy some sort of ridiculous hat to wear. You've got to wear a ridiculous hat if you're at the Kentucky Derby!
Today Nana and Ba-Ba came Florida to visit with us for a while. The plan was to come later, but when they heard of Daddy's condition, they came a bit sooner to help out a bit. Plus, as a bonus, they'll get to see Madison do her graduation walk tomorrow afternoon. Also, they'll get to see her piano recital later on in the week.
Our new series begins tomorrow, Weird Science, so the three of us spent much of the day at church in what preparations we could do. Madison had an incredible time at the office, playing around with everyone else who was there. She has unlimited energy, wearing out one employee after another! Everyone enjoys having her around, and enjoys playing around with her and hearing her laughter fill the office. Meanwhile, Mommy did the display case and got costuming ready, as Daddy did a bit with the writing, keynote, and printing. Daddy can't stay too long though - his energy has been pretty low as of late, and the pain keeps coming back. Give me another week though, and I'll hopefully be back to normal.
Madison enjoyed "Star Wars" immensely last night. She's been talking about it on and off today for quite a bit - in fact, when she was serving up her play ice cream, she'd make a serving for Daddy, and then set a place for her new friend Chewbacca. He likes banana ice cream, apparently. When finished, he sort of roared a bit. Madison wanted to know what that mean exactly. At which point, Daddy translated: "I'll have another!"
