St. Patty's Day Belated

We're a little Irish, you know. Well, some of us are. The non-Fernando portions.

And although he supports our Irishness, Fernando was at a Scout meeting. So we went with Pa and KT to the SLC St. Patty's Day parade, like we usually do. It may have been the longest parade known to leprechauns. But we're a little Irish, so we stayed, clad in our green finery, for most of it.


We loved the dogs most of all. We loved candy being thrown to us, and we loved the dogs, and we loved a little girl driving a green coffin like a car down the road. Those were the highlights. Miranda said she loved the "Potato Ladies" which were scantily clad and majorly stuffed ladies, older ladies, dancing atop a float, so maybe I should be worried. But we're a little Irish, so what can I expect?

Good show for supporting your Irishness. I, on the other hand, try to supress my Irishness most of the time (i.e. white skin and freckles!)
