Today we met up with some friends of mine that I have known for many, many years and we went downtown to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. It was the longest parade I have ever been to lasting almost 2 hours...but the kids did awesome...not one complaint...the weather was amazing...we had a great time!
Here we all are! Amanda, Kurt, Averie and I, Amanda, Sadie, Addison, Ella, Robin and Carrie. Not pictured are Bernice and Luke.
Only in Peoria would you see a man sitting on a toilet in the parade. This was actually a float for a local plumber. Welcome to small town living!!
One of the local bars had a float and they were throwing out baked potatoes to the crowd. Sadie was so excited when she got one and then once she found out it was a potato...she wasn't too happy! So her mommy ate it!
Ella, on the other hand, was extremely excited to get a potato!
Once again...only in central Illinois do you find farm equipment in a parade!!
Of course being this close to Illinois voting in the primaries, there were many political floats. Most of them were very serious and not tacky. Seriously...how can I take this guy seriously and vote for him when he is dressed as a leprechaun!?!?!
We saw several people in the parade that we knew. Dillon is waving at us.
Tom, Lori, Tim, Callie, and Emmi.
