St. Paddy's Day Comes Early

Warning - be prepared for a very photo heavy post!
 
What a perfect weekend for an early St. Patrick's Day celebration - the sun was shining, the temperature was just right - and the kids were ready to rock and roll!

On Saturday we ventured out for the second year to the Dublin St. Paddy's Day parade with Ms. Stephanie, Brian, Mason and Troy.  It was so much better this year - not only because it there were more entries, but because we weren't freezing our butts off!

Since this is going to be pretty photo heavy, I'll spare you from all the reading....


Drew's favorite commercial at the moment - Geiko, the Gecko gives Drew a High Five.


Which one is supposed to be the clown?



And Dave was approached by a parade member for a hug.  Then they interviewed him for their YouTube campaign.


Well that wasn't the only media attention.  Dave's attire stood out to the media as well.  Both from the local CBS affiliate and the local paper.  Here I'm catching them on camera.


After the parade was over we headed down the street to the St. Patrick's Day festival.  We instantly headed over to the rides where Drew was excited to join Mason and Troy in the cars.


But once the ride started, and the car went up and down rather quickly he wasn't so sure anymore.

After trying to scope out a few more not-so-scary rides, Drew finally settled on the teacups with Daddy.  Although once he got on he was no longer so excited.
We made our exit in the early afternoon in hopes of Drew getting a nap in - no luck there.  The good news is that Daylight Savings was starting, so the extra hour of sleep hopefully means bedtime will go rather easily.

One final parting shot for you - what's St. Patrick's Day without a leprechaun?

  2. Looks like a wonderful time. It's to bad that Dave can't have any fun at this activities!
