St. Patrick's Day Parade - 2011

St. Patrick's Day was during Brynn's spring break this year.  Since we had the day off, the girls and I decided to go to the St. Patrick's Day Parade in St. Paul.  Papa agreed to join us.  We thought it was going to be a short little parade.  We could not have been more wrong!  The parade was fabulous.  The parade started at noon.  We got there at 12:10 and could not find parking.  Papa dropped us off and the girls and I ran up to the start.  Papa texted at 12:30 saying that he would have to park too far away so would just wait for us.  I was talking to the people around us at the parade and they said that the parade would go on for a good hour and a half.  So I texted Papa back and told him to park and come to us.  He got there at about 12:45. 

I hadn't quite finished getting the girls ready so had a large ziplock bag with a brush and hair binders.  Brynn happened to bring a small purse.  It was lucky that we had these.  The girls received dozens of necklaces and both bags were OVERFLOWING with candy.  It was great.  We were going to go to an Irish pub for lunch but the lines were AROUND the block so we went to the Wild Onion in St. Paul.  All in all, we had a great time.
