Lesson Learned...

Probably shouldn't ask men, who have been drinking green beer, to take photos at the end of a St. Patrick's Day Parade.  Jury does still stand on requesting the assistance of said men at the beginning of the parade.  Evidence for justification follows...

Guess he wanted to show who the bossy one ordering everyone around was?

Then how slow they were to follow aforementioned bossy person's orders?

But wait, maybe we don't have it quite right.

Pretty good...

But let's do one more to really annoy the men-folk.

I didn't look at these pics until yesterday, several days after the St. Patrick's Day Parade that Jen, Emily and Hannah joined us for.  I better understood why the kind photo journaling gentleman told me he took a number of photos and really liked my camera.  Guess he wanted to see all it could do.

We did have a chilly celebration together at the parade but celebrated nonetheless!  So glad to have some friends join us for parade watching and candy grabbing fun.  Mehandis tried to keep warm by...

Doing a bit of Irish dancing and jump/jump/jump arounding.

Jen's family followed suit by self proclaimed Irish jig moves and Mom-mandated Tootsie Roll dives!

We even found our little pot of gold when Mehandis was given a potatoe from a parade walking girl, whom was impresed by his moves.  And then the adults received chocolate coins from Ultimate Confections.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!
