This past weekend was a big weekend around here. The city hubby works in has a lot of Irish and they don’t let St. Patrick’s Day go by without a weekend long celebration. In fact they have one of the countries largest parades! Saturday we attended the big road race. It goes right past our auto body so it’s great that we have guaranteed good seating 
Thousands and I mean thousands of people come from all over for both the Road Race and the Parade. All the major streets are shut down and you’ll find them filled with people and vendors! Of course drinking is allowed on the streets so as it the day goes on it becomes a bit less kid appropriate.
Gavin and Johnny ran the kids races. Of course I had to run with Gavin, but he was so happy about it! Both boys even got a shirt after! Theirs was the length of a city block while the adults did a 10K.
After Gavin just had to have his face painted like Spiderman. We thought it was so cool.
Not bad huh? Too bad after paying $10 he wanted it off in 10 minutes!
The kids had a field day on our golf cart. Yes, this is the same one that Johnny crashed and totaled into the stone wall last year. Hubby redid it nice, huh?
We lined up to watch the runners!
(Sorry I’ve been asked to keep my niece off my blog)
Over 6000 runners show up each year!

If only he let it stay on!
Did you visit the outlets in Lee? Love them! If it isn’t St. Patty’s weekend in Holyoke I recommend locking your doors when you drive through LOL It’s not normally a safe area. Next time you swing through you MUST let me know!
LOL It was only 43 degrees out and it snowed 3 inches the next day.
Looks like a fun event! That face painting is really good!
I haven’t been back that way in a decade but I have great memories! I’ll let you know for sure if I end up in the area again. I’m becoming a flight attendant, what’s the closest airport?
looks like so much fun! love the spiderman paint job
Looks like so much fun!
That looks like so much fun! I don’t even know if we have something like that here… I should look!
Looks and sounds like a good time. I love the face painting. My daughter was the opposite. She didn’t want to sit still, so she only got a little flower. Then she didn’t want it off!
