St. Patty's Day Parade!

Saturday was our local St. Patrick's Day Parade. We were all sooo excited to go and see all of the floats...but sadly, our lovely spring weather had taken a turn for the worse. Not willing to give up without a fight, we all bundled up and fought the cold to enjoy the parade!~

We kept the car running the entire time, and set the heat to full blast. Every once in awhile we would shut the back door to warm everyone up.

ALPACA!

Alex with his, "That piece of candy is mine, kid!" face.

I don't know what Chris had to do to get these beads, but this lady was DETERMINED to get some to him...and he was just as determined to catch them!

This guy was determined to give Alex a high five. Alex wasn't all that into it, but once he realized that the guy wasn't going to give up, Alex gave in. I was so proud...way to push that comfort zone.


Grace ate the whole time. And by that, I mean before this we had breakfast at HyVee where she ate for 2 hours. Then, came here and ate 2 hamburgers.
I think she did enjoy the parade too, though!
