We got up bright and early this morning to go to the Lochrann's Pub St Pat's celebration in Frisco Square. The weather was not the best, but we got all bundled up and figured it would be a fun outing.
Nicky with his gloves on...apparently they inhibit the functioning of his hands...
The celebration began with a fun run, that the Johnson's definitely did not participate in, and was followed by a short parade, which lasted about 10 minutes. There were a few bounce houses set up, which Nicky attempted, but quickly decided was not his cup of tea. I had read there would be the prospect of face painting and a petting zoo, however, I guess the miserable weather kept them away. No matter, we made the most of it and had a nice morning listening to bagpipe music and drinking Irish Coffee and Bailey's Coffee (don't worry...Nicky had a Capri Sun!).
Here's a pic of Nicky giving the Chik-fil-A Cow a high-five...

Nicky loves him some trains, so he was thrilled when we took a quick ride. We soon left in pursuit of lunch...at Panera Bread...yummy! We all went home and took a much needed nap, then spent the rest of the day hanging out and watching Shrek...again. We have waited so long for the day that Nicky would actually watch tv...and now that we have reached that day, we're wishing for the day we can have variety in the shows he'll watch! Oh well...pick your battles I guess!
Here's a pic of Nicky & Daddy with the monkey Daddy brought Nicky from New Orleans...
Although St Patrick's Day is a few days away, we enjoyed our celebration, and hope you all have a nice green day too! I have to say, this was quite a different way to celebrate than in year's past (you know what I'm talking about Caroline!), but it was definitely one I will cherish.
