Happy St. Patty's! (a little early)

This weekend was the Dublin (CA) St. Patrick's Day Festival. We decided to partake in the festivities again this year since we enjoyed ourselves last year. The festival has over 200 booths, free goodies, food, rides, arts and crafts, and of course BEER. 



Once again it was crowded and let me tell you how much MORE fun crowds are with a double stroller! Ha! We walked from our home to the festival and back, we had to do the double. Other than that though, we had a great time. 

Esella immediately asked to go on one the carnival rides....one that is like a mini Drop Zone...it was like this one:


Yeah uuummmm....no. She begged "Esella go up" over and over. I just COULDN'T do it. She is only TWO! Justin was (of course) all for it. I said..."next year". 

So she did get to go on a couple carnival rides. I think she would have gone on everyone if we would have let her! However she was sick (cold) and was fading fast....so we only did two: A boat ride and a train ride. She actually went on the boat TWICE and cried when we said no more boat. Then she did the train ride.

Here is the boat ride:




And the train ride:



After that she made a quick craft and then we headed home.



She FOUGHT Justin when he was putting her back in the stroller..."No go home anymore!" ("anymore" is her new word...ha ha) she screamed. Then 5 minutes later...

As I type this she is STILL out and its been about 2 1/2 hours. She was TIRED. 




OH and of course Everett had a blast...he slept most of the time in the stroller, wearing his sister's "My First St. Patrick's Day" onsie. Then he rode home in the sling when he was sick of the stroller. 


Excited to take the kids next year!!!

Keep Dancing...
