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!

How fun, a day full of fun events. Love the photos a lot!
Looks like it was an awesome time! We went to a parade for the first time this year which was pretty fun.
Looks like you had a good time! Happy WW
Wow! Man, you guys really DO take St. Patty’s day seriously O.o
That looks like so much fun!
How fun! I just love the face painting! Well worth the $10.
Looked like loads of fun. Loved the face painting!
Awesome spiderman face!!!
Wow, that looks like a blast. We have a tiny town about 5 minutes away and you’d NEVER know how small it is since it’s an Irish town. So many people show up to celebrate it’s crazy. Is that golf cart custom? Never seen anything like it!
awww that looked like fun and looks like it’s warm by you too.
Looks like everyone had a great day! My Q would’ve loved the spiderman face paint!
That is such a cool event, and his face was worth $10. They did a GREAT job!
Any kind of parade is a great time but a St Paddy’s Day parade is an awesome time. LOL. Great Pictures.
Happy WW!
I used to go through Holyoke on my way to Lee every year growing up. I used to say “Holyoke Batman!”
Looks like a fun day! I love the Spiderman face!
Can you please delete #39? I’m on my phone and accidentally clicked submit when last week’s link was still in there. Sorry about that!
That looks like a lot of fun — our city has several parades and we didn’t make ONE!

It was 50 degrees last weekend and snowed 6+ inches last night. Boo.
