St Patrick made sure it would be a beautiful day for a parade

This is a local parade!!

of course there were many fire engines
this one was for the Irish Children's Fund
this group brings Catholic and Protestant children to the US
to show them that religious differences
do not have to result in violence

Anna said; Mom, I can see everything

Sean & John Jo help some of the wee ones see the floats

Chicago's Finest were there to help with the 250,000
plus our gang
of course we walk down 109th from Mom's to the busiest corner

going back toward Mom's there was plenty of green
and some beer !
Yes, that is Barrett wheeling his granddaughter back to mom's

It was Mom's for breakfast and parking
then off to Coleen's for the food!

People everywhere
last 4th of July there were almost 100 today we had 50
and the babies were only 5&6 days old
