Happy St. Patrick's Day (a little early)

We had so much fun on Saturday with the Lee's Summit Parade. The girls look forward to it so much each year. J.R. and his co-workers worked really hard on the float. They teamed up with Shamrock Golf Club and Eric Reisner on a float this year. The theme of it was "putt your money to work". On the float we had our leprechaun who was putting on an actual green. When he made the shot, confetti and stuff would shoot out of the hole. Next to the hole was a dancing groundhog/mole ala Caddyshack. We handed out golf balls and candy. Surprisingly the golf balls were the biggest hit. Although I think after this year there will be some sort of rule about tossing golf balls into the crowd LOL!

Today while I was talking to J.R. we learned that they got 1st place for it. That is very exciting. We have tried to win for 3 years now. It might have helped that they had awesome gift cooler bags for the judges. Bribing the judges IS allowed.

Here are a few pictures from the day. Enjoy.
