| The view to the finish line! |
On Saturday, March 17th, 2012, we started the morning off right! When we woke up, a two dollar bill fell from the door and let us know that the leprechauns were going to keep an eye on us! We had some Lucky Charms cereal and Irish Coffee before heading downtown for the Shamrock Walk. This is one of our time honored traditions! The weather was so great and we were all decked out from head to toe and ready to tackle the day!

We walked the four miles in what seemed like no time at all laughing and enjoying the perfect weather! Afterward, we had our traditional victory green beer on Monument Circle. This is a great wind down from the walk and if you are lucky, you can usually spot a leprechaun! We had a great walk and there were so many participants this year! Seems it gets bigger each year!

| The St. Paddy's Sauce! |
After this refreshing four mile walk and green beer, we headed off to claim some free fries and green shamrock sauce at Burger King! It was just a fun experiment to see what they had going, but it was a neat detour for us! We also stopped at a hardware store for some free paint and got none but a few stares! I guess the hats aren't for everyone! On the way home, we stopped at a lemonade stand and enjoyed the simple things in life. Finally, we were back at Ashley's where the corned beef feast we had put in the crock pot before leaving in the morning greeted us with the smells of good old Ireland!

The weather was so beautiful that we decided to take the party outside! We had lunch on the porch and everyone got to enjoy the corned beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, and cabbage! What a feast! It seems we can never make enough of these tasty dishes because by the end of the night, they are always gone! Even Charlie was enjoying the action!
We decided to play some games outside to enjoy the March air! It was a great day of ladder ball, Irish fighting, cards, and pool! We took the party into the Who Gives a Hoot Irish Lounge as the night progressed. It was such a great time!
We all felt the Irish Blessing:
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long.
