St. Paddy's Day

Trevor, out of the blue one day said, "Why don't we go to San Francisco for the St. Paddy's Day Parade?" Of course I thought it was a great idea, so we packed up the kid and headed to San Fran to stay in a hotel Friday night, and see the parade and party on Saturday. After a long night with Aidan not sleeping too well, we headed out to Civic Center to see the festivities. The parade was a little weaker than we expected, but Aidan loved the beads the people were throwing out, and the candy that kept coming his way. After the parade we headed toward Golden Gate Park (it was a beautiful day). We caught the bus through Haight Ashbury and walked into the park. We found a children's play area and Aidan had a great time. We had planned to stay another night but decided to head home and give Aidan a good night's sleep in his own bed. Even though it wasn't quite what was expected, it was a wonderful experience and we had a great time!

At the parade. Notice the beads around Aidan's neck. He wouldn't take them off all day and still loves to wear them.


At Golden Gate Park we met this little boy named Christopher who was enthralled with Aidan's blonde hair. Aidan was enthralled with his buckets and shovels, so we stayed in the sand for a long time while these two had a great time.

First, thank you, Amy for putting up all these pictures. I love your family picture....what a handsome family!

You all look so happy and beautiful. I think moving to a rural area was a good thing for your family.

Love, Mom
