St. Patrick's Day

Naperville goes all out 

for St. Patrick's Day. 

The streets are filled with green clad humans

 of all sizes

and shapes. 

The runners 

were filling the bars at 10am

and so were FlapJilly and SIR. 

It was a good place to rest and visit with friends

before setting out to create our own parade.

We weren't the only ones who found the street more passable than the sidewalks

but we were definitely the cutest.

FlapJilly waved to her loyal subjects, and they, sitting comfortably and waiting for the floats and the dancers, smiled back.

People came quite well prepared

and dressed in appropriate fashion. 

Nap time meant that we had to leave before the parade began,

and FlapJilly's tears were loud and wet and ignored.

It is so hard to be a toddler.
