St Patrick's Day

Well, life goes on, new one or not... We were invited to attend the St Pat's parade with friends...
A big event in Baton Rouge...  many floats and lots of fun. Thanks to friends for hosting and for a grill out after...
The event itself might not actually be endorsed by the famed missionary of Eire... there could have been some alcohol and perhaps even some suggestive antics.  We discussed and escaped when one float had a breakdown... but still overall, a fairly family friendly event and quite an experience...  The basic idea is based on the Mardi Gras float/parade...  most are wheeled carts pulled by pickup trucks...  They have themes but most throw beads, of course with a largely green theme...  walkers keep people back from floats for safety and onlookers try to catch beads or more...


 But most recover and look for more beads.  Some end up with about all they can carry...
