Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We can't remember a St. Patrick's Day in Wisconsin where we could go out without a jacket on, so when we saw that this year's forecast was calling for high seventies, we could not pass up on the opportunity to spend the day outside! Even better, we were able to support the Dane County Boys & Girls Club at their annual Shamrock Shuffle in Madison.
As much as I intended to run the 10K (ha!), we decided to walk as a family in the shorter race. Amelia thoroughly enjoyed checking out all of the green costumes and kept saying, "I want to see lots of people and lots of things!" We arrived early enough that Amelia could run off some energy and practice crossing the finish line all by herself.




A passerby had an extra green wig that she donated to the cause, so Ingrid pretended to be very Irish for the day.


 Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, cheers to some green celebration and sunny warm weather!
