Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Not much going on here today.  I just wanted to post a few photos of yesterdays St. Patrick's Day parade.  There were about 850,000 people at the parade yesterday.  The South Boston parade is the second largest in the country and I am lucky enough to have gone since I can remember.  Being that my husband's family is Irish and from South Boston we always have a blast.

One of the traditions besides Corned Beef & Cabbage we have is that the kids have a silly string fight.  The front yard and the kids were covered from head to toe with silly string.

This was the kids favorite part when the soldiers fired their guns.
Nicholas held his nose the entire parade route because he didn't like the smell of the horses.  One of the horses pooped right in front of him at the beginning of the parade.  It was so funny.

Matthew and Makayla enjoying the parade.

Looks like a lot of fun! One of these years I'll have to convince the "Italian" to take us to see the festivities! LOL :)
