st patrick's day parade and the er

Saturday, more than 150,000 people attended the St. Patrick's Day parade. As far as your eye could see the streets were lined with people in green. We had prime seating right on East Avenue and took in the entire (all 2 1/2 hrs.) of the parade! From leprechauns, to old cars, Irish dancers and more.

The best 'nose bleed' seats for the parade.

After enjoying the parade and not doing much else Saturday . . . we were awoken early Sunday morning. Somehow Blaise fell out of bed and cut underneath his nose on a humidifier 2 feet away. After a trip to the ER it was decided no stitches as it is an area prone to infection . . . sterile strips and antibiotic cream did the job!

Later Sunday we enjoyed a drive up to Charlotte for a walk and dinner out. There is a 'secret' pathway behind the properties that line the water that is public. We enjoyed the views of some exquisite homes right from the waterfront pathway.

st. patrick's day parade

Overcast and cloudy didn't keep us away from the St. Paddy's Day parade this past Saturday.
I sat upon the curb with Blaise standing behind,
jumping up and down when more fire trucks were in line.
Ambrose gawking as the drums went by (did I mention he has asked for a drum set for Christmas already?) . . .



Blaise giggling and squealing with delight when the loud motorcycle came by
(did I mention that he asked me this morning 'when can I drive'? YIKES!). . .

What a delight to watch the boys . . .watch the parade!
Happy (early) St. Patrick's Day.
