St. Patricks Day... FIRST DAY IN UTAH!

Our first day in UTAH was St. Patricks day! One would think waking up with cousins in Utah would be fabulous enough - but add in a GREEN breakfast and creating leprechaun traps for the sneaky little guys and you have A CHILDS DAY IN HEAVEN. And a momma's day in heaven as she sits back and watches the kids play!

Unfortunately no leprechauns were caught... but gold coins, treats, and fun little toys were left behind. The kids LOVED it and couldn't believe how smart the leprechauns were for escaping their traps.

Cute cousins all dressed in green! No pinches accomplished. :(

That afternoon we spent with my dad's side of the family, The Richards, celebrating my wonderful Grandparents. It was so fun seeing all my cousins - it has seriously been years! But thank goodness for blogging and Facebook, it felt like it had only been a few days. :)
*The event was complete with Cheetos and Root beer Floats, a staple at my Grandpa & Grandma's.

We let go Balloons in their memory. Green for my Grandpa that was born on St. Patricks day. And Red for my wonderful Grandma. It was quite a site.

All the Richards Ladys.

Amazing day... a GREAT start to our week in Utah.
