Saturday morning we went to the parade and the Kid Fair that was part of the Greater Andover Days Celebration. It was Hudson's first parade and he really liked it. He liked waving at everyone as they went by - especially the animals, real or humans dressed up as animals. He also loved looking at all the balloons in the sky that the kids had all lost their grip on and let go of. When we went to the fair and got him a balloon he threw a fit that it was tied to his arm so I took it off. Then he didn't want me to touch the string so I finally let it go, warning him not to let go or it would fly away and he immediately let it go. I finally realized that was what he wanted to do all along and I was just standing in his way!
His gloves were too big but he kept them on the whole time we watched the parade. At some point he picked up a piece of candy in each hand and held on to them the rest of the parade.
Probably the second best part of his day - meeting Elmo. He gave him a hug and everything! The best part of the day was riding on the horse at the kid fair. He talked the entire time we were on the horse - he was so excited. At one point the horse whinnied real loud and he loved that. He kept neighing over and over - real high pitched like the horse had done. He was a little upset when we got off and the next little kid got on "his" horse.
Putting on a puppet show. There was lots of fun stuff to do - we made a bouncy ball at the science exhibit, won sidewalk chalk (which has been Hudson's favorite thing to do for the past week!) when he went "fishing", hit the pinata, and dug for money in the straw. There was also fireworks Saturday night that we went back to watch. He was still scared of the noise so he hugged Jamie as tight as he could but still watched the display out of the corner of his eye the whole time! Before the fireworks he was pretty excited about playing peek-a-boo with the moon (it kept going behind the clouds) so we played that for a long time. We sat next to some friends for the fireworks and they had a lady with them that we didn't know. Hudson went over to her to point at the moon and right then they shot off a test firework and Hudson spread his arms wide and ran right to her. It was cute since he didn't even know her but just wanted to be picked up. We hung around for a while after the fireworks with some of Jamie's
Rotary friends and Hudson let everyone hold him, gave everyone high 5's and knuckles and even "danced" with one of the ladies for a long time.
