The big St. Patrick's Day celebration has begun. It started with the Parade downtown today at noon. The kids were so excited. We don't own too much green; thank goodness for the mittens and hats from Auntie Sabrina this Christmas!
Good thing we brought the stroller otherwise Daddy wouldn't have had a place to sit!
We even brought lunch. I had lots of healthy snacks to offer so the candy wouldn't be the only thing available. They all surprised me by asking for carrots and cheese instead of the candy!
OK, so I don't own any green...good thing I'm not Irish :-)
We met up with Maddy and her Mom (
KariLynn) and youngest brother (Zak). I know I've said it many times before, but it is always so nice to have Maddy around to help. She loves our kids and they love her!
Marcus was so funny to watch. He waived at everyone, jumped and ran everywhere, clapped and laughed at everything and even found a few mud puddles to jump in (why do boys have to be so dirty all the time?). It was more fun watching him than the actual parade. He loved every moment.
This was little Zak's first parade. He did great! Marcus kept running up to him and telling him what was going on and Zak would just laugh and clap. He watched Marcus every step of the way. Won't be long before those two are running around together.
We left the parade at 2:00 (two hours after it started!) and it was still going! Marcus was very upset; screamed the whole way back to the car...he kept saying "IT'S NOT OVER!". It broke my heart, but we had to try to squeeze in some sort of a nap...he was so exhausted; the minute we got in the car he fell asleep. He slept for 3 hours! Overall it was a great time.

Tracie you really should get something green. Maybe a shamrock pin. Looks like the kids had a blast. I really like the Saturday parade. Our parade isn't until Wednesday and it is a 3:30 so it will be a race to get the kids picked up from school and to the parade. Glad your day was so great. Nice memories.
Fun pictures - I do love a parade! Looks like spring is in the air.
That is so cool you actually have a parade!
