St. Patrick's Day Parade

We celebrated the boys' Irish heritage by finally making it to the Biloxi St. Patrick's Day Parade. Our friend, KC, who is a very active member of the Hibernia Society had been dying to make Jim be a Grand Marshal of the parade as he is probably the only Irish national in all of Biloxi but Jim's been deployed or out of town each time since we've been here. She was in the Hard Rock Cafe float when she saw us on the sidelines. A bonus! she threw us a couple of Hard Rock T-shirts. The boys had a blast!! They love parades and they know what to do to get beads and toys from the floats. "Throw us a bead mister!"...no exposure needed either!. One float was passing out cabbages!! It was also the same day as the Biloxi BBQ fest so we got to enjoy both southern bbq and the parade. And I should add...the weather was fantastic! a very nice 70 degrees!

Leprechaun or Troll...you decide but whatever it is, Ronan didn't see her!
