St. Patty's Day

Our church put together a float for South Bend's downtown St. Patrick's Day Parade this year.  We had never done a float for the parade before but it was a great morning for a parade with nice weather, lots of people participating in the parade and lots of people watching.  Our church has a bell tower with a copper/gold-ish/shiny dome so our float depicted that as the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow.  The kids wore a rainbow of colors and had wands with colorful ribbons tied to the ends.

Parades are such fun events for kids.  We hope to visit Wakarusa for the Maple Syrup Festival Parade in a couple weekends and Milford for the Memorial Day Parade.  Our neighborhood has a 4th of July Children's Parade too that we enjoy every year too.
