Parades and more Parades

We enjoyed two different St. Patrick's Day parades. Lucy referred to them as the "loud" parade and the "soft" parade. She wasn't a fan of the more boisterous Forest Park parade, although she loved the suckers that they were handing out. She also was a fan of the beads and the funny hats. It was such a thrill for her to see people dressed up in funny clothes in all different shades of green! She kept saying, "Look Mom I see more green!" The soft parade was the Northwest Chicago parade and was held in Norwood Park where Kristin and Eric live. It was great to be able to be right in Kristin and Eric's community. Next year we are going to do the downtown Chicago parade as long as Lucy isn't too afraid of it being "too loud."




Lila was so tuckered out after all the parades that this is how she ended the day in her car seat!!
