How I Spent My St. Patrick's Day

Our green holiday was an eventful one. It started out with a plate full of green clover pancakes and yummy sausage - courtesy of Levi who then had to leave courtesy of bedbugs. Next we had a grand parade down main street. As you can see from Rayn's blog, our parade consisted of Hazel's wagon float (Leprechaun Aryn did a wonderful job assuring the safety of our Hazel pot of gold.) Tomie's bicycle float, and the marching band.

On the more mundane side, we went shopping to use our double coupons and Tomas introduced Mario to mashed potatoes.

The evening ended with a truncated scout meeting and a lightening fast trip to the Cedar City library to get Levi's books 1 and 2 of the Mistborn trilogy signed by Brandon Sanderson!

Saturday's adventures began as Hazel, Shaynae, McKinlee, and I raced home from Taya's fantabulous birthday party, grabbed Levi and Tomie, and headed to Springdale for the big parade. We parked out front of Josh and Steph's new shop, the Zion Lyon, and collected vast quantities of candy. Yum!
We had so much fun and are glad we had the chance to make memories with our wonderful family.

Wow! I'll say a lot of candy! My kids love going to parades down there because they come back with so much candy. We went to the Peach Day's parade (several years ago)with Gramdpa & Grandma and our kids still talk about it! Look like a lot of fun!
