St. Patricks Day

We had the boys on St. Patricks day, and since it was on a Saturday this year we decided to take them to the parade downtown.  ohmyword.  Why do I do this to myself.  It was c-razy.  

These two however, were pumped for the parade and had their candy baskets READY TO GO!

We got their about an hour early so we could get a spot and not fight the crowds too much.  I don't think Parker was hailing a taxi......:)

Parker was being silly with his bucket.

I was trying to entertain them so I played music from my iphone (hakuna matata) and they danced

The closer we got to the parade, people came from everywhere

This was my view.  WE got their an hour early for a spot, but people showed up 5 minutes before parade and SOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!!! Seriously.

Parker liked the beads.

We left about an hour into the parade, they weren't giving out much candy and the boys
(ok Brian and I) were getting hungry. :)  Plus the parade was mostly party buses and cars. :)  

We had a fun day with the boys. I'll endure crazy people for them any day....most of the time...maybe.
