Conner and I just had a blast in the St. Patty's day parade here in Lawrence. One of the mom's from our playgroup is opening a new children's indoor play area in Lawrence and decided to enter a float in this years parade. Conner has never made it to the St. Patty's parade and being one was a new experience as well.

| good looking float! |

| snack break! |
Brett dropped us off for duty at about 12 we helped with the last minute details for the float. One of the most awesome things ever (in the mind of a 3 year old) was that the float ahead of us was an old 1930s fire engine!! The owner even let us sit on it before the parade got started. As you might assume there is A LOT of waiting when you are in a parade. To make the time go by faster Conner and I decided to explore and see some of the other float. What should we find but a PIRATE SHIP!!!!

| look mom! i'm a fire-fighter! |
 |
| i'm never getting off! (see the green house in the back - he let all 10 kids use his bathrooms, wonderful man!!!) |
 |
| is that a pirate ship? (he looks so casual - until the cannons fired and he jumped a foot in the air) |
 |
| pirate conner! |
The parade was FUN but long and while Conner rode and waved to the crowds, mom was on candy handout detail and walked the whole route. Needless to say mom is a little tired while writing this post.

| watching to making sure the trailer hitch stays attached to the truck (very important job!) |
 |
| I said Kiss Me I'm Irish - no mommy that's silly , i'm Conner, not Irish |
I hope you all had a little luck of the Irish on such a wonderful day.
