Peace Day

Banjo accompanied us to the Madison Children's Museum. Before entering the building, our goddaughters spotted a car being painted. The car was part of the Kid's for Peace Day festivities. The kids enjoyed the activity and banjo watched closely. A bit too close as he was dripped on with a bit of paint by accident. One boy splashed him on purpose; the parent didn't seem to care much - frustrating.

Dragging the kids away from the car, we all entered the museum. Banjo received many pets from the children and gave a few kisses. Lexie was quick to warn the others that "He might bite." He has been a bit mouthy the last couple days, but was calm and gentle with everyone today.

We were pleasantly surprised that admission to the museum was free today. Even better was that we were able to participate in the Kids for Peace parade. Banjo accompanied the four of us around the capitol square. Initially, he was a little concerned with the noise from the band, but settled down quickly.

As usual Banjo drew a lot of attention from the crowds which was quite large since the Farmers market was still in progress. Not sure who tired quicker, the puppy or the kids.

Our goddaughters thought the best part of the day was the ice cream treats that the Madison Children's Museum provided the parade participants. Again, Banjo was shut out. Did anyone see Lisa and Lexie on the news?

We ventured to the park after our afternoon nap. Banjo was led up stairs, over the wobbly bridge, and through the tunnel. He slid down the slide by himself, a half dozen times before a quick trip to the grocery store. We found out that it's easier to control a puppy in the store than two children.
