It's Easy Being Green

On St. Patrick's Day, Mommy and Daddy took me down to see the Lower Greenville St. Patrick's Day Parade. And boy was it fun! First, we met at a friends's house for a little breakfast and socializing. All I wanted to do was play with all the green beads and toys they had. And they had a lot! Then it was off to the parade. There were so many people, I was really excited!

During the parade, Daddy let me sit on top of his shoulders so I could see all the pretty floats and people march by. Isn't he the best Daddy in the whole world?!

I had so much fun waving at everyone that passed by. And I felt really special, too. It seemed like they all tried their hardest to throw their candy and beads directly to me! But I had an advantage over the other little kids around me... I had my trusty monkey backpack on with the super-long tail for Mommy to hold, so I could get really close to all the action. It was just like I was part of the parade!

Boy was I having a fun. I felt like the whole parade was just for me! (And just so you know, my shot glass necklace was for... milk!)

I got so many beads thrown to me, I didn't know what to do!

"Tappy" (Tammy) was with us, too. She helped me gather up as many beads and pieces of candy as possible. Then, when it all got too much for me, she would hold on to everything I gave her. What a great pal!

I sure did have fun with my Daddy, too. He kept a good eye on me so that I didn't stray too far. I love my Daddy.

What a fun day at the St. Patrick's Day parade! It's easy being green!
