What a great party at Karen's in Langbroich! The amazing thing this year at the parade was a leprechaun float with two male leprechaun's doing something that leprechaun's shouldn't do. Even the German's were caught off guard and were covering their
kids eyes. You'll have to call or write to me if you want to know what it was, it's not appropriate for this family friendly blog!
We all posed in front of this giant tire, it seemed like a great idea at the time. Just so you know, the bottle of alcohol in my hand was not for me to drink, I was pouring it for the members of the parade who had shot glasses around their necks. It's pretty normal for kids as young as 12 to be part of the parade and drink beer. By Sunday night at my town they were all drunk and exhausted!
Jim and Rich decided to join the Pippi Longstocking group for a little dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe. They twisted and twirled right down the road! Nice dancing guys:) It has been amazingly cold and wintery here. Even my neighbor said she hasn't seen this much snow since she was a kid! Last year I don't think I even wore a coat for the parade and this year we had gloves and hats. I was definitely tired the next day though and only stayed out for my town's parade until I had greeted all my neighbors, then headed home to hot tea and warm kitties!!
