We spent the weekend in Buffalo celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Hannah's dance school, Rince Na Tiarna. Hannah danced in 2 parades, the Valley Parade on Saturday and the Buffalo Parade on Sunday. The picture above was in the Buffalo News and you can see how wet and miserable Saturday's parade was. The girls were frozen. I ended up taking my Rince Na Tiarna sweatshirt off and putting it on Hannah over her costume.Scott and I marched with the parent's group in Saturday's parade, but it really took a lot out of me. It was a long parade and when we got to the end we had to hike back to the car. I never thought I would warm up again.
We spent the night in Buffalo and our hotel was only two blocks from the start of Sunday's parade, so we had a leisurely morning. Saturday night we bought every hand and body warmer known to man so that we would be warmer on Sunday.
Sunday's parade was incredible! Hannah's school had two floats and at least 50 dancers. Scott walked with the girls, he was chosen to be security, and I drove the car to the end to meet them. Both Hannah and Scott really enjoyed this parade and since there was no rain, stayed warm and dry.
After the parade one of the families who owns a restaurant by the end point hosted a party for the girls and their families with cookies and cocoa. That was a nice way to end things.
We were all exhausted when we got home last night and Hannah didn't feel well enough to go to school today, but it certainly was an experience we will never forget.
The camera is in Scott's car, so I will share our pictures in a later post.
