This past weekend Milo's and Calder's Gram and Oom-Poppa visited, just in time for the St. Patrick's Day festivities in Five Points (about 3 blocks from our house). For those of you not residing in Columbia, St. Patrick's Day in Five Points is quite a spectacle, involving 30,000 or so of your closest, drunkest, friends; live music all day long; strong men contests; and, thankfully, a parade and Children's Carnival.
Despite the unseasonably cool weather (approximately 50 degrees), we watched the parade and then played, played, played at the Children's Carnival. The boys had a blast bouncing around on all the inflatables and Milo braved some climbing walls and steep slides. But the real hit was the petting zoo. Both boys were enthralled by the baby sheep, goats, pig, and ducks. Calder sat for quite a while "snuggling" them and a wee goat licked Milo's face. Milo also made friends with the tortoise that all the other children were ignoring.
