I'm really new suiter, I've suited less than a handful of times (Still working on my own fullsuit.) But, two weekends ago on Father's day, I was urged by my family to bring "one of my wolf heads" down to the cookout we were headed too. I was really against it at first, because I only had the head of my costume finished an nothing else,...and a costumer with only a head would look weird.
But I finally caved in and went. Mid way through the cookout, I donned the fursuit head and made my way down the hill towards the party. Immediately, some older men were laughing and making remarks, which almost made me do a 360 and go back to the car, but, also then, I heard a little kid yelling out something. So I turned in that direction, and this little girl (Maybe fourish?) was running up to me and just hugged my legs, since it was as high as she could reach. So I got down to my knees so that we were eye level and just as quickly as she had appeared, she plopped down in the grass before me and started telling me about how I looked like her dog "but taller". I was silent the entire time but nodded and tilted my head here or there when prompted.
Then another little girl joined us, and she and the first girl started grabbing handfuls of grass and started to "feed the kitty cat" I pretended to nom on it and they would giggle. ..Though, this left me with grass plastered onto my face inside the mask and running down my neck. There was a third girl who was even younger who I danced with, which was fun. She would stomp and flail around in a little kid version of a dance, then I would imitate, she would giggle, then rinse and repeat.
All in all, it was super fun, and it felt nice to make the group of kids laugh. I look forwards to any other fursuiting events.

(TL;DR, I entertained a couple of kids, got grass all over my face as a side effect.)
