St. Patrick's Day Shenanigans

Savannah has the 2nd largest St. Patrick's Day Celebration in the states. Who knew, right? The whole city shut down today in order to watch the 4 hour long parade! Our neighbors got an early start hosting a community green pancake breakfast, where there were 75 people in attendance (many of which were small and cute)!



As usually, Piper was a trooper throughout the parade and so was Broc, who had her on his shoulders for an extended period of time. Our favorite parts were the Budweiser Clydesdales, and the bagpipe marching bands.







This gentlemen felt his beer consumption gave him automatic marching band rights. I have to say he almost pulled it off if it weren't for a devoted officer of the law (of parades).



We had a fun experience that you won't have anywhere else. Tired little Pipe fell asleep on Broc as we made it back to our car. Apon arriving home, we all took a nice nap. What a day!

Looks like fun was had by all! I remember visiting Savannah last year right after St. Patrick's Day and they already had their countdown clock going for this years celebration. We celebrated our Irish heritage too but in a smaller fashion, by making corned beef and boxtys.

You needed our red-haired Collin to make it complete! What fun pictures!
