St. Patrick's Day

We had a lot of fun this year for St. Patrick's Day. On Saturday, Jack and I went to the downtown parade with the Ungers. Garrett, Nick, and Jack bundled up and ate their sandwiches while we waited for the parade to start. The moms and the boys

Jack seemed to like the parade. He did a good job of sitting on the curb and not running out into the street. He wasn't too excited about having green beads around his neck.

Saturday night we had some friends over to play games and celebrate Pi Day. I made a caramel apple crumb pie and people brought cherry pie, peach pie, and chocolate pie. Yum! Garrett, Juliet, and Jack played well together. We tried to get all three of them to sit on the steps for a picture, but I don't have a good one of all three of them. No surprise there.

Jim was off on Tuesday (St. Patrick's Day) and we rode our bikes, with Jack in the trailer, to the Dogtown parade. It was great. Unfortunately, the camera was acting up, so all our pictures are blurry. Here are a couple pics anyway:

I really wish the pictures turned out better. Oh well - there's always next year. St. Patrick's Day was beautiful in St. Louis. The temperature reached 79 degrees! Jack enjoyed this parade and even liked the beads around his neck this time. Unfortunately the green from the beads rubbed off onto all of our necks and shirt collars because of the sunscreen we had on our necks. I don't remember a nicer St. Pat's Day. The best part was having Jim there to share it with us!
