St Patrick's Day

We set a trap for those sneaky leprechauns. The kids had such a good time! Here is a link to how we made the trap.

But that clever leprechaun got out of our trap by eating his way out of the cake and taking the coins with him. He tracked frosting all over the dining room, the little beastie.


That afternoon we went hiking as a family. What better way to spend St Patrick's Day than be surrounded by green.


Camille's a good hiker. In fact, all of our kids are good hikers. It is one of our favorite things to do as a family.


The boys found water. Big surprise! They thought it was cool to throw chunks of snow in and watch it melt as it floated away.


It was a pretty area. Sad thing is the weekend after we were there a wildfire swept through the place we were hiking.
