Don't worry. This isn't a post to guilt trip you into doing your part to curb "global warming". This is all about St. Patrick's Day. We Chicagoans take our St. Patty's day seriously. (side note: did I just call myself a Chicagoan?)
Nearly every town and Chicago itself has a St. Patrick's Day parade. This year we went to the Naperville parade.
Conal got see his favorite, the bagpipes:
I got to see the Irish dancers:
(by the way Riverdance was here early this month and I didn't find out until it was too late =( )The kids thought this see-through bus was pretty cool:
And they thought this was even better:
They got more candy then they did this past Halloween.
And they thought this was even better: They got more candy then they did this past Halloween.When we got home the kids decided that they needed to put on their own parade. Why they ended up in the window well is beyond me. We'll have to ask Conal about that one.
Oh.......and by the way. They really do dye the river green!
