Carnival Craziness!

While the Winter Carnival has been dominating our weekend schedule, we have been having a blast. Below is a partial Dougherty clan trying to keep warm during the Grand Day Parade. Outside temperature was zero degrees F but the hot air baloon engines kept everyone entertained and relatively warm. It's amazing how much heat those things put out!Team D racing through the parade! Seamus shows his SevenHills pride while Mr. Finn enjoyed being super bundled in the joggerthingy. Kudos to James for enduring the search for us during the parade. I swear that we were approaching Jackson St. when you called!
The SevenHills clan marching! Many beads were tossed to the brave parade-goers. Behind us is the historic St. Paul Hotel where King Boreas (dad) and his lady (mom) are staying for the week!
The Royal Family float pulling out of the staging area.
Me having fun preparing the float for the event. It's always interesting when the screws and washers start sticking to your fingers. Kinda like sticking your tongue to a pole!
