Green

Annual St. Patrick's Day post.

I tried not to take too many pics at the parade this year - mostly because we see the same thing every year - literally. The first hour to hour and fifteen minutes - and it's the same every year. Although, there was a group advertising for the Asian Festival this year - which I thought was a bit odd. Japanese drums following bagpipers.... It didn't work for me. So here you go:
It was just me and Kaylee (with her aunts and cousins sitting with us) this year - Kathleen is fighting a wicked cold and cutting some molars, so Bridget stayed home with her. Notice that the Irish wolfhound is as tall as she is. His name is Napoleon.
What you get when you ask a 4 year old to smile nicely as you attempt to take your own picture. She thought it was hil-ar-i-ous!
The floats were pretty cool this year.
Um.... When did Ignatius start letting girls in? Perplexing. Oh - ps - Kaylee is going to play the cymbals when she gets big.
The Farmpark Clydesdales even got their green on! Guess they've never heard that song about the Budweiser and the Clydesdale.....
The finished second Irish monster.
Kaylee immediately claimed "Twinkerbell", but I have a feeling that she's going to end up with both of them at some point...
Not sure what she's doing here.... Practicing her aria perhaps? But this next one is my favorite shot of the day:
Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day! And that you all enjoyed your Guinness responsibly. Remember, Guinness is good for you!
