St Patrick's Day Parade

After breakfast with Nana and Papa today, we jumped on the light rail (train) to head downtown for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade. WOOHOO!!!!

It was a BEAUTIFUL Day for the parade, even though it was only in the high 30's when we boarded the train. It quickly warmed up in the sun and was in the 60's before the afternoon was over.

First and foremost, a HUGE thanks to Keith for being the greatest Dad and husband to take his family to the parade. He has a really nasty cold and probably would have rather been on the couch. He was quite the trooper and made the most of it to make Oliver and I happy. THANKS!!!

Here, Keith and Oliver are waiting for the light rail. Ya, ya, it's just the train, but it's Oliver's FIRST TIME on the train!!!

Here it comes!
Oliver was quite curious as the miles went by outside the light rail windows.

It didn't take long and he comfortably reclining.

Here is Oliver's first glimpse of the parade outside of Union Station. It was a sea of 210,000 green people! (210,000 according to the news. I always wonder how they can get a count. It's not like we all took a number to enter downtown. Geesh!)

Watching the parade, with the sun beaming down on us.

I'm starting to think that Oliver is working on pushing his incisor (eye) teeth through. He spent a good portion of the day with his hands in his mouth.

Then along came Jen, Craig and soon to be, Short Stack.

Looks like they've traded in their green beer this year for Starbucks.

Strolling through the sea of green people.

Still strollin'. This time there was more room to move around. The shady spots had much more room than the sunny spots.

Kiss Me

I'm Cute

I just can't get enough of this little guy.

Even the coolest kids need some R&R.

Typically Oliver doesn't sleep in his stroller. All it took was one quiet block on one quiet street and he was sleeping before we could turn the next corner.

Of course, with an eight month pregnant lady and a 17 month (today) kiddo, lunch was on the agenda.

Here is Jen and Craig loving the sunshine and the St Patties day celebrations.

The Hamilton family was loving the day too!

Oliver strutting his stuff down 16th street.

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Staying Alive!

Could it be... the next John Travolta?

Regardless... you should kiss him. He's Cute!
