Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade

On Saturday morning we headed to Denver to watch Lucy dance in the St. Patrick's Day parade. She left earlier with some friends. Luckily we made it just in time to see her dance, unfortunately we were on the wrong side of the road. It was fun and quite an adventure. I just have to say that I love our stroller....too bad the pioneers didn't have one.

Here you can see Lucy from behind. Her curls come in handy for Irish dance!

you can't make Lucy out but she is there :) Her dance troupe is ranked the best every year so they get to be in the honorary beginning part of the parade.

Eden and Carmen showing their 1/8 Irish pride! After the parade, our neighbor had a huge party with a bounce house and all sorts of fun. It was the most we have ever done to celebrate St. Patrick's day. So....Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Brushing a ginormous goat..and Carmen fell face first out of the suburban if you are wondering about her nose...it was a bummer!

We went to Prescott Valley to visit Matt's grandma "Cookie." It was a lovely visit and the girls had a great time
