Irish Picnic 2012

It's that time of year again! Time for the 158th Annual St. Patrick's Irish Picnic.

We didn't get to spend as much time at the picnic this year as we did last year. But we still had fun.

Rosie's favorites this year were all the same as last year.

 She got her face painted...

hearts...

AND flowers this year.

(Getting your face painted is a very serious matter apparently)

And after winning something at all the kid booths she went back and spent a long time just playing at the duck pond again. That was her favorite last year too.

The Irish Picnic is always a high light of the year and this year was extra special for us. 

It was so much more fun attending now that we know people in the community. 

We also got to eat Italian Ice and list to Cousin Joe's band, The Dotson Brown Band, and this year Rosie really liked doing the line dancing with every one. 

Hopefully next year we have time to go to both nights and volunteer at one of the booths.

I'm already planning on making a few cakes and a gallon of coleslaw for next year.
