St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday we got to be in the St. Patrick's Day Parade that runs through downtown Springfield. Derek has a 1971 VW Bus and is part of the VW Club of Springfield which was invited to be in the parade this year. He invited us to ride along if we wanted to. It was a bit chilly, but lots of fun! The parade was pretty long (about two hours) but we got to see a lot of characters along
Derek, Amanda, Dave, Atalie, and Patrick in front of the bus.

The VW Club actually won Best Decorated Car, but the Club went to a different bar after the parade and wasn't present so Derek got to accept it!
After that, Atalie and I went over to Derek's house to watch a movie and called it an early night. Lot's of fun!
