March on!
Happy St. Patricks Day…(well almost)
Getting ready to get on the Light-rail by our house to go downtown Lodo to Union Station…What a frustrating venture. Chad got on the train after collapsing the stroller, while the train attendant told Stella, Arlin and I to walk around and board through the second car. Following his instructions, we walked all the way around the handicap ramp to board the train when all the sudden the train started to pull away??!!!
We were left behind! I was super irritated. And panicked for a minute thinking I didn’t have my phone or even house keys…till’ I realized Stella was holding my purse. Chad had to get off at the next stop and wait for us. This speed bump set us back a good 45 minutes from getting to the parade. Argh…and we were on time this morning too!
Stella on top of Papa’s shoulders to see some of the Parade…i love the monkey ears on her sweatshirt!
it turned out to be an awesome weather day..but Brrr it was chilly in the shade.
it only took us about half the parade to meet up with some friends…we failed at finding the Woefel’s at 17th and Blake?! So we walked a few more blocks to find Alex, Lola and Salvador…
Stella look! they painted the horses hoof’s sparkly green!
you could say this was a highlight of the parade… for Mama at least.
loved the car and the cute Grandma waving in the back seat!
Arlin got a kick out of the bag pipe dudes…
We met up with Mark and Jamie Polk at the tail end of the parade to have a few cold beers in the beer garden in front of Fado’s…
Mama totally got suckered by this little Leprechaun for $2 bucks to take a picture with Stella…
I had to get my money’s worth and snap two pictures! (I think Stella was taller than the Leprechaun!)
I was exhausted by the time we got home yesterday and barely had energy to go grocery shoppin’, but I managed! We grabbed a late lunch at Get Battered Fish and Chips (Alex’s shop) so I didn’t have to cook dinner, other than making Stella some soup (woo hoo) We laid low last night and watched the movie Toy Story…I love that movie!

i wish we could have met up with you. kiko thought it best to park like a mile and a half away rather than take the light rail?!? and we really couldn’t see where we were, palmer wouldn’t leave the police cars alone. we needed a nice cold beer i tell you what. lesson learned, go together next time!
