What a splendid weekend! The weather wasn't too shabby for a mid-March weekend, especially for North Idaho. I did some much-needed sleeping in on Saturday, followed by our 3rd annual St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown. It only lasted about 20 minutes, but all the people wearing green just puts a giant smile on my face. A little miniature leprechaun even stopped by and gave me some fool's gold which I thought was a chocolate coin. Boy, was I wrong. I've never seen so many dogs in a parade in my life! Good thing I left my dog in the car, or else I'm pretty sure we would have ruined the parade all together. She doesn't do so well when she cannot wrestle strange dogs to the ground.

After the parade I got some things done around the house...fixed our vacuum cleaner (again), did the dishes and cleaned out my fish tank. That night, Grant and I were going to defend our glory at Thunder Extreme bowling, but all the emo kids got there too early and we were going to have to wait for an hour to get a lane. So we strolled downtown and took some cool night shots of downtown. Grant is an amazing photographer. I'll have to steal some of his pictures and share them...it was funny watching all the drunkies downtown acting like fools and realizing how good it feels to NOT be among them.

Sunday was another relaxing day with a nice hike of Tubbs Hill in the afternoon. Although we didn't anticipate the amount of snow and mud left, it was a great time and we got some more great pictures of Spring peeking out around town. Top the day off with a yummy pot roast and Ghostbusters II, and..well, that's just one good weekend if you ask me.
