Who doesn't love a parade?

It was a glorious St. Patrick's Day in St. Paul! A perfect day for a parade! I have just a wee bit of Irish in me, but that has nothing to do with why I took this day off to celebrate. I live just a few blocks from where this annual parade begins and it's always a fun day to be a St. Paulite! Even if you're not Irish, it's a fun day in the city. People are just having fun...

There are kids everywhere...well, kids of all ages in fun outfits!

Families and friends marching together in the parade...or watching from the street...

Men in skirts...

And men in skirts playing bagpipes (a lovely sound!)

Dogs are included...

and even an Irish Elvis!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
