St. Patrick's Day 2017

As Cassidy continues to enjoy her Irish dancing classes year after year, the month of March continues to be extra busy and festive for our family!  This year, we enjoyed her various performances with her group.  They performed at a nursing home, which the residents thoroughly enjoyed; at the school-wide party in the gymnasium; they also had a performance this year at Michigan Shores Club. We love watching her do something she enjoys so much and we love her confidence to get up there on stage and perform!  We also marched in the annual St. Patty's Day Parade through downtown Chicago.  It was very sunny but also extremely cold - the dancers kept coats and hats on until the very last second.  Once the parade starts to go, they need to be in uniform and dancing as they march in front of their dance school's float.  The families all follow behind the float.  No matter the weather, there is always a giant rowdy crowd of Chicagoans lining the streets.  We really enjoy going with her!
