Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love St Patrick's Day. Even without the beer it's one of my favorite holidays. I love to cook a homemade meal of corned beef with cabbage and veggies and of course one of the best parts of the day is the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade. This has been one of my favorite events for years, especially now that Bella can enjoy it too. And she sure did enjoy it! We parked our Truck downtown the day before and then joined Nana there before the parade started. We were all in green and ready to go!

Bella loved watching the parade, She especially liked it when they brought candy around!

The Recycling float was one of my favorites and of course the spaceship!


And of course our very favorite was Poppy's Willy Wonka Float. Jerry looked awesome and we loved seeing Poppy rock that Banjo!

We saw other friends as well. Becca and Ceri were a part of the Tiny K float and my friend Christie and members of my former Mom group were out with her new business, an awesome play gym for kids. I'll put up more details once they open.

Overall it was a long, but very fun parade. Bella stuck through the whole thing like a champ and then took a nice nap before dinner. We then had Nana and Poppy over for our traditional Irish feast and packed for Ohio. It was an awesome start to a great Vacation!!
