St Patrick’s Day Parade

Unfortunately mom was not feeling well this morning, so Des, dad and grandma ventured down to the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. Des actually stayed awake this year and was surprisingly agreeable to wearing the ear muffs during fire truck sirens and motorcycles.

About 45 minutes into the parade though, a light mist turned to a steady rain and we started back to the car. What’s better than a bowl of soup on a drab, drizzly day? Some authentic ramen and a bite of ice cream at the food hall hit the spot.

The highlight of the day though was the gift package Des received from great-grandma Jane, including a Winnie the Pooh plush, books and a movie. Des has already befriended his new pal Pooh and read one particular book numerous times.

The good weather continues, reminding everyone how enjoyable is it to be outside in the evenings. At Memorial Park, Des runs towards the ball diamond, but then quickly jogs back to the family. Perhaps he realized it wasn’t a giant sandbox mirage?

All but forgotten, Des hangs out with Big Bear before bed. Pa would be happy to know his delivery gift from the hospital gift shop lives on
