What a beautiful day it was today! I don't know if it reached the predicted 60 degrees or not but we won't complain. The morning started out very relaxing. Jeff worked at the Lucan Lions egg breakfast, while the kids slept in. Everyone but Zach. He's up at the crack of dawn. Later in the morning we met Jeff and all ate together. We next walked to the fire station and helped some of the fire fighters wash the fire trucks and First Responder rig for the St Patricks Day parade that was to start after lunch. The kids had a blast. Andrew was on windows, Zachary on tires, and Michael was on whatever he could find. After they were all washed, we went for a walk to kill a little time and enjoy the beautiful day. We ran into some friends and visited. Soon it was time for Jeff to get ready to drive a Rescue rig in the parade. Zachary, Michael, Lindsey and Justin Bernardy joined him very excited to ride in an old ambulance and throw out candy. They parade was a whole 2 blocks long, but it did make a u-turn at the end of main street and you got to see it again! Everyone was dressed in green. There was fire trucks, tractors, old cars, a boat, truck with daycare kids in the back, bag pipe players, horses and a 4 wheeler. Usually the weather is very cold, sleeting or snowing and windy so this was a beautiful day for a parade. After, we all head over to the Community Center for cake and ice cream and a short program. We listened to a couple that played the bagpipes and a large family who each played an instrument and sang. Of course there were jokes also. A fun day. We returned home and worked on Michaels social project on landforms. He wanted to do something "hard". We choose Oahu island. That was a great example of many different kinds of landforms. Now it is time to get the crew ready for bed. Good night!
