St. Patty's day

We took the girls to the St. Patty’s day parade this weekend. Although the weather didn’t pan out quite like we had hoped we all had a great time. Av ended up with a full bag of candy. She was not expecting that. She ate more candy in those 2 hours than she has ever had before. Camille was a little overwhelmed the whole time but very interested in it all. She really didn’t want either John or I out of her sight and kept going back and forth between the 2 of us. The parade didn’t really have floats in it like a normal parade. It was made up of many different groups of people walking in it throwing candy. The parade was 2 hours long and I really think if we had put matching shirts on we could have been part of the parade if we wanted to be. Anyway a lot of the groups of people had dogs with them in the parade. Camille loved that part. She is very interested in dogs and animals. Camille kept picking up the candy and just holding it. She had a piece of that strawberry candy (the kind your grandmother always had that had the soft middle that was always kind of old and goopy by the time you ate it) in each hand by the end of it and would not give it up. By the time the parade was over we were all pretty cold. We ended up heading to dinner with all our friends. I don’t think that restaurant will ever be the same. We had 10 kids with us. The food took awhile and the kids were running kind of wild (the restaurant was very empty) by the time it came out. Too much candy and excitement but a fun day was had by all. Pictures to come.
