Happy St Pattys (part deux)



Today we really celebrated Saint Patricks day by going to a St Pattys celebration for kids. We drove just over 100 miles to get to this place but I have to say it was worth every single, "are we there yet?". This is the kind of madness that we do all the time so the drive really wasn't an issue. The festival was brilliant but I can't say that it had anything to do with St Patricks day other than the very occasional shamrock and pot of gold however they did have a rock wall, paddle boats, bounce houses and the whole thing was set up amid a village of yesteryear. If the kiddos wore green or dressed like fairy's or pirates they got a prize so needless to say we were accompanied by a green fairy.
The big hit of the day was this huge pit filled with foam. Frankly it looked like so much fun I was a tad cheesed off that it was just for the kids. Lily didn't want to try it at first but then she changed her mind and we couldn't get her out. I am posting a kazillion photos and videos cos it really was one of our more eventful fundays.
If any of you live in the South Florida area I highly suggest this website,
www.sfparenting.com It is for a magasine that is distributed for free and it tells you all the local attractions and coming events plus it has some great articles. Todays event was sponsored by them.

On a down note we came home all very happy to get word that my Father isn't very well. I know it is nothing to serious but you don't know what kind of patient my dad is. On top of that the message also said that Nanny Rene tripped over her walking stick and landed in a big heap so she isn't so great either. The one who is really suffering is Jeanne who is playing Florence Nightingale to all. (I hate being so far away from home sometimes) Jacobs first word was, GO! But it isn't really necessary and my dad would be in an awful mood since he is always so active and chipper and he can't be that way at the moment. We hope you are feeling better really fast Daddy.

It really is fun. I went to a foam party once in Cancun ... except it involved a lot of tequila. :)

Lily looks like she enjoyed it from that big smile on her face.

I hope your family is mended soon.

that looked like so much fun, Lily is such a lucky little girl to be able to do such fun things....

PIPO said...

Oh, I hope your dad and nanny are feeling better quickly!

You always seem to find the most fun! You are just like a fun magnet for Ms. Lily!

Only public foam I ever experienced involved a lot of alcohol too. Lily's version is a lot safer...and cuter.

Looks like so much fun, I would have driven 100 miles for that also.
Lily looked so cute!
Hope your father and Nanny feels better soon.

I am sorry to read about your dad and Nanny Rene. I hope both are on the mend.
