St. Patrick’s parade

Here it is, in all it’s green glory!

You would think that they would’ve gotten the watertower finished before the parade that goes right by it.

Grandma (and even Hakka this year too) were doing their best Mel imitation, chasing kids off the apartment property. Dontcha just love Grandma with her police tape?

We had the best seats, thanks to Grandma and Hakka. The ‘box seats’ always give us great views. And we even got some beads. It’s like Mardi Gras (except with no shirt lifting). Here’s Hakka squishing up Jack.

John marched in the parade, although he definitely shouldn’t have with his back. His truck was out of service, so there was no riding while reading the paper this year.

Grandpa Jack, Feather, and Uncle Joe played as they do every year.

We got a wave from Mr. Met since the boys were wearing Mets hats.

The boys made it thru part of the parade, but once Daddy, Grandpa and Uncle Joe passed they kinda lost interest. The pull from the computers and the slot machines inside was just too great. And I was off to St. Baldricks.
