The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

All the Derby events are in full swing
and it's a very exciting time around here!
On Friday, I got to go downtown and
party at the Fest-A-Ville!

There was a band there and I loved dancing on the great lawn.

I even had one of my favorite bears with me!

I think Baby Sis wanted to dance, too,
but she was stuck to Mom.

After I danced and danced,
I saw a whole bunch of horses!

Dad took me in for a closer look and
told me if I wanted to ride it, I could.

But then I decided that riding that horse
would probably something that I would be better at next year.

After we had very much fun at the Fest-A-Ville,
I thought my night was over, but I was wrong!

We all went to the Balloon Glow to watch all the hot air balloons
get ready to race on Saturday morning!

I sure did enjoy watching those balloons glow with Dad.

And then on the way home,
Dad even got me my very own glowing sword!

Yep, I sure do love Derby time!
And Mom told me that there's more Derby fun ahead!
