St. Patrick's Day Parade!

Ben and I headed down to New Orleans this weekend for a visit with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sarah. It just also happened to be the St. Patrick's Day Parade! Ben had a very good time. We started the parade out at Doug's house, where Ben kept trying to escape out the front door

In addition to beads, etc. they also throw cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions and Moon pies. I saw a lot of flying cabbage today.

And Irish Spring soap - gotta keep clean!

Oh, parading is such a tiring job...one exhausted little boy!
