Last year I completely forgot about St. Paddy's Day. I couldn't believe it went by without my even realizing it. Well, Jane Bradley realized it the next day and made us wear all green as a family anyway. A day late. So we did because we had been promising a green day coming up and when you're 5, you don't care what the date is.
Well, this year, we made up for it. See following photo. We woke up in the morning with big parade-like plans. We dressed in our St. Paddy's Day finest, and headed out.
We picked up Jay-Jay on the way there because she's very similar to having your own personal portable theme park. She injects super-human amounts of fun into everything. So we love it when she's in town. (She's moving back here in a week and we are OVER THE MOON excited!)
We watched a little parade...
Rode a few rides...
Walked around in our green hats and green spraypainted hair...
Some of us played in the fountain...
And played "don't step on the crack" games with Jay-Jay... Who can make even waiting around on a sidewalk fun...
Slid down the jumbo-slide a few times...
All in all - we more than made up for missing it last year. Until we tried to leave early and Brad found out that his too-good-to-be-true parking place was, in fact, too good to be true. It was inside the parade route boundary. So we had to wait for OVER AN HOUR inside our car while the rest of the parade drove by and the kids watched a movie in the car and we were all late to the next party we had to get to.
At least the morning was fun! And we learned our lesson about the parking - the people under the bridge are not nuts for parking there. We will be joining the hikers next year :)
