Leprechaun Lunch!

Last year we had a Leprechaun Lateover and this year a Leprechaun Lunch!

Green hats and leis all around!

Grandpa built a leprechaun trap! It was the coolest ever! Did you know if a leprechaun gets caught in a trap... he turns to stone so you can't get his gold? It's true!

Checking out the trap....

The kids found lots of gold coins around the trap....so they knew a leprechaun was close by!

Well we decided to come back in the house and play some Shamrock Bingo as we waited to see if a Leprechaun might find our trap!

Everyone is working hard on this game!

Matt is our Leprechaun Bingo caller!

Lots of fun!

Then it was on to YUMMY GREEN FRENCH TOAST and Green cupcakes!

Delicious!
Then we did a tribute to Grandpa Hal!

Sunglasses and moustaches! Hal got a big kick out of these kids! Wish I gotten one good picture!

THEN WE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND THE TRAP WAS SPRUNG!!! DO YOU THINK WE CAUGHT A LEPRECHAUN? WE BETTER GO AND CHECK!

Everyone waiting to see if we caught one! Open the trap carefully!

Waiting...waiting...

Oh my goodness! We DID catch one! But it looks like he turned to stone!

Grandpa pulled him out very carefully... could he still run away?

Becca looks a bit surprised...

Oaks...isn't quite sure what to make of all this! Almost 12 is an hard age... to believe? or not to believe?

Trey got a turn to hold "Patrick"

Millie

Mason was amazed!

All in All it was a really fun afternoon! The kids are amazed that we have a real Leprechaun albeit turned to stone...on our mantle! Who knew?

Then it was into the family room to watch "Darby O'Gill and the Little People and then the traditional Irish Fling!

I have a great video of the dance.... so come back and as soon as I figure out how to do it it will be here!

Macie ready to head home!
