My two little leprechauns and I took advantage of the terrific spring weather and headed to Des Moines today to watch the St. Patrick's Day parade. We were able to sit right outside Aaron's office building and enjoy all the interesting people who were decked out for the day!
Everywhere you looked, people were decked out in all shades of green lining the streets and celebrating. The boys were quite intrigued by all the green mohawks that were being sported. I sure hope they don't remember those the next time we decide to enjoy St. Patty's Day! They had fun catching all the green beads that were tossed out during the parade and were terrific about sharing their "goods" with the sweet little girl who was standing beside them. It made my mama heart proud to see them share on their own accord.
You know the parade is l....o....n....g when the boys ask if we can go before it was even close to ending. We left about an hour and a half after it started to join Aaron for a late lunch. They had had enough! The boys love being able to go to ING to see Aaron and have lunch with him. It's a special treat for them since we don't make it down there too often.
What a fun day it was for me to hang out with the boys during our spring break! If only it would last a little longer :)
