Alistair and Daisy the Donkey

We were super late for church this morning.  Today was Palm Sunday, so we were all looking forward to the donkey leading the procession of palm waving parishioners singing All Glory, Laud, and Honor.  As we drove by the church, they were already walking into church.  Because it was so busy, we ended up parking two blocks away, instead of our usual right across the street.  Disappointed at missing all the excitement, we walked to church.  Then we saw Daisy the Donkey (really a pony) walking towards us down the sidewalk.  I asked the owner if we could pet the pony as the kids were looking forward to seeing her and were sad to miss it.  The owner offered to give Alistair a ride back to church, so he did.  What a funny thing to ride a pony across Wheelock Street.

Alistair loved it.  We said that it was just like when Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem.
