We had a great weekend in Emmetsburg celebrating St. Patrick's Day! We got there on Friday night, so we were ready to go bright and early on Saturday morning. Jill took Austin and Colton to the donut shop so they could pick donuts out for everyone. Austin got the biggest chocolate donut in the case and Colton picked out a big one with green frosting! We went to a juggling/magic show in the morning that was pretty entertaining. The boys were impressed with all the things that the juggler could balance on his chin . . . a pole, a feather, a folding chair! It was pretty impressive. The only disappointment was that Austin wanted to be a volunteer so bad but he didn't get chosen. After the show, we waited in line for balloon animals, face painting, made a craft, did some coloring and had a caricature done. This was all before lunch!
After lunch we went to watch the parade. The boys got so much candy!! We were able to sit right in front of Brian's grandparents house and watch the parade. It was a pretty great location because it was right at the beginning of the parade and there were not many other kids around to compete for all the candy! After the parade, Nate and Amanda took Austin and Colton to the movies. Brian, Gavin and I went with Brian's parents to the Corley's for a gender reveal party . . . where we found out that Matt and Kirsten are having a girl! It was a very fun day! Needless to say we were all pretty exhausted all day on Sunday. Now Austin and Colton get to spend the rest of this week in Emmetsburg with Jill and Dan. Gavin gets to hang out with mom and dad and get our undivided attention for an entire week!
This is a picture of Gavin this morning before we headed out the door! I don't think he misses his brothers yet, but I'm sure this evening he will be rather confused by how quiet it is going to be! Happy St. Pat's!!!
