Parading Around Buffalo

What a great weekend it was here for St. Patricks Day. The weather was in the 70's!!!  Amelia got to see her first parade. Buffalo has 2 parades for this holiday.
On Saturday Jackson and Jen joined us in the Old First Ward of South Buffalo, ie the Irish District.


All lined up ready for the start

They threw out lots of candy and beaded necklaces to the crowd here. Amelia got some necklaces and man was she excited about it.


Once Jackson and Amelia realized they were giving stuff away they seemed to be much more into the parade. Here they are waiting for the next float to go by.



More beads please!!!

Sunday was the official Buffalo parade downtown. There were lots of cool floats, Irish dancers and to Amelia's delight dogs. Here are a few pictures...






Some of the local Irish Dancers



These dancers were on a wooden platform so you could really here their steps



Amelia's favorite, well after the beads that is.
