We enjoyed a fun and festive day in downtown Royal Oak on Saturday. It was the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. The kids had a blast watching all the Irish floats, dancers, and dogs...yes, tons of Irish dogs! Sloane made quite a few furry new friends. She had to pet every one that walked by (and there were a lot)! Russell enjoyed just being outside with his friends. He is always wide-eyed when the fire trucks drive past. Afterward the neighbors came over for hot dogs, chips, and one of Aron's now famous pies :-)
"The parade is coming! The parade is coming!"
Sloane collected candy and beads.
We spent today enjoying the fabulous weather!!! Russell and Sloane were completely thrilled with playing at the park. It was as if they were visiting a long lost friend. Russell can now go down the fire pole all by himself and Sloane (thank heavens) now understands the fear of height and was much more manageable on the play structures compared to last year. Last summer she nearly ran right off the edge of every high platform. I literally would have to walk behind her holding on to the back of her shirt. It was so nice today to simply watch from below as the two kids giggled and ran around.
The sand table is out of hibernation!
This weather rocks!!!
Let's hope for many more days like today!!!
