Private Apple!

Everyone know Garrett is a huge Toy Story fan so when we read the schedule of skits and saw that the soldiers would be on the pier in California Adventure we made sure we were there waiting for them to arrive. Garrett saw the soldiers coming and his eyes lit up. He was very focused on watching them park their truck and unload the toy barrels that later became their instruments.

After the soldiers set up the asked for kids to come forward as volunteers. Garrett was sitting on my lap and I asked him if he wanted to go. I didn't need to ask him twice he jumped up and ran over to center stage. He was one of the littlest ones to join and did a great job following the directions and marching along.

All the kids waiting for the instructions.

After the marching and game was over all the kids were dismissed to sit back with their parents, Garrett just stood there. He obviously wasn't finished! The soldier came over and asked him his name and when he didn't respond the soldier gave him the name Private Apple and for the rest of the time referred to him as Private Apple.

Since Garrett wasn't ready to sit the soldier called one more volunteer and had them play in the next part of the act. It was so fun to watch him interact and be so fearless of his favorite characters.
