Gingerbread man, pig racing and a surprise meeting!

Today I went to the Market Place Theatre in Armagh to see a show! I'd never seen a show before and I was very excited! :) It was called The Gingerbread Man and Bunny got me a Gingerbread Man costume to wear :) We left the burrow at around Midday:15 and we went to the theatre and waited until we could go in then it was time to go in! I was wearing my Gingerbread Man costume :) Lots of people saw me and waved and wanted to talk to me :) I gave out some business cards and they shook my paw :)

Then we sat down and waited for the show to start, meanwhile people in front of us and behind us talked to me and shook my paw :) I gave out some more business cards and then it started to get dark! I got a bit scared but Bunny said I'd be okay and she held me tightly. The show was very funny! I laughed lots :) It was about an hour long but it flew by :) I got my picture taken with the lady in the show with one of the puppets :) You can see my Gingerbread outfit :)


Then we went downstairs to get some lunch because we were hungry :) This is me waiting for the food to arrive.
Then food arrived! I got toasted wheaten which I ate while still in my Gingerbread Man costume :)

After lunch Bunny helped me change out of my Gingerbread Man costume into my normal clothes. I didn't want people to laugh at me when they saw me in the street.  Then we headed towards the Rugby Club and I spotted two Gargoyles along the way! :)




 We stopped off at the Franciscan Friary along the way to the Rugby club and Bunny took a picture of me :)


Then we went to Armagh Rugby Club :) There was a game on so we watched it. It was the first time I'd seen a live rugby game it was brilliant! I really enjoyed it :) I hope we can go and see more rugby games :) There was a man selling Armagh Rugby Club pin badges and a kind gentleman bought me one :) After the rugby game we stayed at the rugby club because Bunny said there would be pig racing! Pigs racing? I called her crazy but she laughed. I noticed them setting up further up on the rugby pitch so we moved closer and I put some of my pocket money on a piggy but piggy didn't win!  :(  it was still fun though. The piggies ran and they had knitted jockeys on their back and they jumped over hurdles! It was SO funny! :)

Then we went into Armagh City Hotel, Bunny wanted a coffee and something really AMAZING happened there! :D Bunny noticed Emerald Garrison people where there sitting around a table. So we went over to them and Bunny excused us and asked if Bane was going to be there tomorrow. This man said no, I was very sad and asked him "Why not?" He said he was the man who dressed up as Bane and I told him I was dressing up as Bane and I wanted a picture with Bane! He reached out and took me and sat me on his lap and explained why there was no Bane this year. I was sad but he told me he would be a Sith Lord and he gave me a business card and he said "Look, it's kinda like Bane. Is like Bane's daddy" so I said "Okay" and Bunny gave him one of my business cards. My business cards are better than his! <giggles> mine are printed on both sides! :) Then we gave one to everyone else at the table. I was told that Harley Quinn would be there!

Bunny told them that I have a Darth Vader outfit coming to me and the man said that would be very cool and he said that Bunny would have to take a picture of it and share it on my blog :) Then we left and they all said they were looking forward to seeing me as Bane tomorrow!

Bunny said we gave out 15 business cards today! Bunny said we might have to order some more soon :) She said I can choose the design and what two pictures I want on the back of them. So the new ones will be different from the current ones. I think we have enough to keep us going for a little while longer.

So that was today's adventure! I'm still grinning about meeting the Emerald Garrison people!
