Where are the neighbors??

When I was taking the kids to the bus stop today, we noticed that the neighbors driveway hadn't been shoveled.  And yes, it is the middle of April, and yes, we still have snow.

Christopher:  They went to Iowa.  They have family there.
Payton:  Plus the leprechaun is there.
Me:  The leprechaun is in Iowa?
Christopher:  The leprechaun is in Ireland!

Iowa... Ireland...  So close!
