Jeff has a swim meet in Denver all day today and I'm happy to report his guys did well :) While he was galavanting around a swimming pool, Olivia and I braved the cold forecast and went downtown for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade. I am a fan of parades in person. I don't know why, but I love seeing all the different displays, floats and groups. We all know I'm overly emotional, but I teared up at least three times while watching the bagpipe players, the middle school marching bands and the Irish dancers. It's just really neat to see people who are talented and passionate about what they love taking time to share those gifts with us.
Olivia had a great time. She got to catch a few pieces of candy and bead necklaces. She sat on my lap the whole time and really watched everything go by. I kept asking her if she wanted to to home because I couldn't imagine she would sit still for that long, but she always answered no. We got a hot chocolate and then went out for lunch afterwards. I would point out certain things as they walked by, like the cheerleaders or the horsies, etc. and almost every time Olivia would say "I like cheerleaders." I like horsies. I like bag pipes." So cute.
There are also some random pictures included here as well as some from this morning and all the playing we did before and after the parade. Have I mentioned I love weekends???
