Rory Update #12

Rory went to her first bar crawl this weekend! The annual 12 Bars of Christmas Crawl is something Colleen and I have enjoyed for the past several years.

We decked her out in her Santa Pants, and cute frilly top. That and the pink touque completed the outfit.
Our first stop was the 2nd bar, where she was passed from one bar-hopper to the next making the rounds. We stayed at this pub and had dinner.

Then we caught up with them at bar 5, then went to bar 6 where Rory was nearly tossed out of the bar! It would have been the 2nd bar she was tossed out of (a previous trip two weekends ago with the grandmother where she was denied access) But the waitstaff allowed her to stay, since it was a brief stop, and I masked her appearance in the sling by claiming it was a broken arm I was nursing, not hiding an underage drinker.

Bar 7 was the best, the Legion. Rory got to play pull tabs, share a cheap beer and watch some pool and darts. At this point fairly sober dad and completely sober mom kept her away from the less sober pubcrawlers who might not have the same sense of balance as in bar 2.
