St. Patties Day Parade

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This is what I heard resonating from the park below our apartment. Duane played the white knight and took care of Rella while I enjoyed something truly unique:

The Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade

NO Joke!! They dye the Chicago River GREEN!



After that, the parade begins at NOON
Some of my favorite furry kind of people were there. . .


There were the
cutest groups of curly-haired Irish dancing girls
(I couldn't get a clear picture, so this one is on the web)



OH! They must have been freezing!!! It was a blustery day in Chicago.
But that didn't keep the dog-lovers away
(This second picture is of the BIGGEST dogs I've EVER seen!)



The Parade seem to have HUNDREDS of entries, After about 2 hours they were only halfway through! It was a fun experience.

So fun!
