St. Patrick's Day Parade - Belmar

Last Sunday we headed to Main Street in Belmar to watch the St. Patrick's Day parade. Grace loves firetrucks, candy and her Grandfather and they were all going to be in the parade :) In the morning we went to our neighbors who have a party every year on parade day. After the party we headed to the parade. It was so much fun. A little cold. We lasted about an hour and a half. Grace was freezing but did not want to leave. I told her the parade was over to get her to go home. She would've stayed the whole three hours that the parade is.

 My Mom came over to head to the parade with us. She brought a bagful of Irish hats to wear at the parade. You'll see all the different hats throughout the post.

You can tell he had a little to drink at the party in the morning. This was after the Irish Car Bomb :)

 All comfy and cozy for the parade.

 Tony's not a big fan of parades but we dragged him along with us. So much fun being all together.

 Walking to the parade.

 My mom went early in the morning and put down a blanket to hold our spot. It was still there and we had great seats for the parade. Thanks Mom!

 Nothing like eating candy at a parade. 

 Good morning miss Lily

 This is about the point where Lily was getting cold and tired again. But we tried to keep her bundled up.
