Are you wearing green?

For St Patrick's Day, we went to the parade with my some of my family. The weather was so nice and we got to see some fun floats.
Some iphone entertainment as we wait for the parade.
Not sure what upset Colin but he did start out happy.
You can tell the cry is gonna start.
Oh, poor boy!
Why are they laughing at me?
A little lunch!
And the parade starts with the fire trucks!
Trevor got down the waving really quick! And here are some of the favorite things we saw. . .


This guy was a little crazy popping wheelies but he didn't do it again for the camera.


Lucas put this on his Christmas list.
Gotta love a green shower!

A train for the T's.



If Lucas can't have the tracker, he would be okay with this.





For my redhead.

By far the favorite of the day!
He is happy now!
Cousins!
After the lunch, we headed back home and had a St. Patrick's Day inspired dinner.
Shamrock float

Green applesauce
I know its hard to see the shamrock shaped ravioli, and green Alfredo sauce. But it was yummy!
And we can't have a holiday meal without some cake pops. Hope everyone enjoyed their St. Patrick's day! Have a good week!

A day in paradise!

The boys were off for spring break so I surprised them with a fun filled day with their cousins. We had great weather, loads of fun and a good time. Since it was the day before St Patrick's Day - we had a green inspired lunch.
We started in a maze. Lucas was my maze buddy. You got a punch card at the beginning and you were to punch M-A-Z-E on it and then race to the finish. There was a time punch outside of the maze so you could see how fast you could be.
Jordan and Noah racing for the letter Z.
We found the Z, still needed the E.
Still looking for the E.
Eli pointing out the location for me! Thanks Eli.
Finally! And onto the exit.
Comparing their times.
I think Scott had one of the fastest times.
Do you hear the go karts calling? They do!
Not a long line, well not long yet.
Lucas was glad to be tall enough to drive by himself.

And then the trouble comes down the track.
Now it was my turn.

Lucas back on the track.

Notice how they all check to see how far ahead they are. Scott still in the lead.
Eli keeping his eye on Noah.
Noah checking on Jordan.
Jordan making sure his Dad isn't making a break for it. They all wanted to pass each other, but to keep Andrew behind was most important. However, when you are trying to pass each you sometimes you end up . . .
Stranded in the middle of the track facing the wrong way. They all gave the go-kart guys a run for their money, since they had to run out and get them going again.
Time for lunch.
Rock wall climbing.


Mini golf anyone?
Scott had to take a turn on the wall.
Back to mini golf.

We had such a great day. We will definitely be going back to this place.
