St. Patrick's Day

March 15, 2008

Two leprechauns dressed and ready to go.

Baking cookies with Dominique, her sister Pascale, and Pascale's daughter Sophie.

The girls look like pros making their shamrock cookies.

The cookies coming out of the oven.

Samantha shows off her coloured shamrock.

After waiting anxiously all morning, Sam finally gets to see some decorated cars.

Samantha gets a 'Paddy Bear' from one of the floats.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

A float with lots of horse power.

Sophie and Sam busily wave their shamrocks at the floats going by.

Lots of colour... not sure whether this guy wanted to show us an Irish moon.

Mascots and acrobats.

Does the fire chief know they hit a leprechaun?!

Waving at the parade is serious business!

Christopher isn't sure what to make of all this.

After the parade it's time to try out those cookies.

For lunch we went to Colonnade pizza... Sam looks quite happy with her milk and pizza.

Christopher is a little less impressed with his green goop back at home.
