St. Patty's Day

What?  It's not even March anymore?  Well, I can still wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day.  To celebrate good Ole St. Patty's Day, we headed to Brookside Gardens with our MOPS group for a fun morning scavenger hunt. Oliver's wearing green under his sweatshirt.  And Madeline didn't have anything green to wear.  But, she did get to wear her flip flops.  That was an exciting day!

We found the Blarney Stone which had green glitter all over it!  And Madeline's favorite part was the green "sfarkly" shamrock sticker that she got at this rock.  

Then the kids got to roll down a hill.  Madeline got up a little courage to at least wait in line with her friend Emmie.  But, she changed her mind once she got a little closer.  

Oliver probably would have done it.  But, he just waited patiently in the stroller.  Actually, he probably would have just ran away while occasionally turning back around to wave at me with his "I'm doing something bad but looking really cute" wave.  

She has been wanting to go back to these bubbles for a long time.

She loves to watch this video of her from 2 years ago when she came to the St. Patty's Day Walk and always wants to go back.  They even had the same music this year.  It was skipping pretty bad.  If I remember correctly, it was skipping pretty bad 2 years ago as well.  It might be time to invest in a new one.  Just a thought.

She even posed for me, with no eye contact.  But, she did smile.  

And she showed me the cool gold stones that she found.  

Then Oliver had enough of the stroller and did decide to run away from me.  And he did look pretty cute doing it.  

Then we stayed and had a picnic lunch before we headed home.  It was a beautiful morning and I am excited for the beautiful weather to decide to come back for good.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
