After getting home from the pancake breakfast, we noticed a neighbor was having a yard sale. We walked down the road & ended up buying several items for Adds: a doctor kit, Sesame Street placemat, playdoh, and Addison's personal favorite - a sit & spin.
She played on the sit & spin until Nonnie, Uncle Andrew & Aunt Evelyn arrived. Then we all headed out into the 40 degree weather to Bradley's Country Fair. Traffic was better than we anticipated, and the first event we encountered was Addison's most requested activity: pony rides. (See the video below). A newspaper photographer from the Democrat took Addison's photo while she was on the pony, so if you catch a pic of Adds either online at tallahassee.com or in the newspaper, please let us know! After the ponies, we went straight to eat yummy Bradley's sausage. Once our bellies were full, we trekked for two hours through the craft area, purchasing a princess crown (which Adds will not wear), cloth gift bag, kiddie-sized apron (thanks, Nonnie!), a necklace for Mommy and a bracelet for Addy. At the end of shopping, we ran into Addison's teacher, Miss Julie. Miss Jule also works as a clown & make-up artist with BJ's Party House (which Evelyn does the website for and who Andrew used to clown with), so Addison got her face painted. It was a GREAT day! Here are a few:
Here's the video of Addison & her Daddy riding the pony:
One more time about my friend Heather - please check out her blog. She is in serious need of some funding assistance to cover the costs of her new treatment plan as well as transportation to & from NYC for each treatment. If you have any ideas on how to raise money for medical costs or if you would like to make a donation, please let me know so I can pass the info on to Heather! Thanks!
