My mom and dad took me to see Seattle's Saint Patrick's Day Parade. It was my first parade ever. My dad was afraid that the noise and crowds might scare me. Heck no! I loved it.
Here is one of the photo's that Carm took. My dad swiped it off her blog. Thanks Carm!
Apparently it rains at parades. A lot. It wasn't raining before the parade, and it stopped raining after. So somehow they make it rain just for the parade!
There were people carrying flags, playing instruments, waving, and giving out candy. There were funny people too. Dad said they were clowns. People were walking, riding in cars, and riding on motorcycles. There was even dogs in the parade - a lot of them!
My folks took pictures but they don't have them ready yet. Luckily, our friend Carmelita is ready with hers. To see her photos, visit her blog at Cozzie's Corner.

Hi Elliott! I'm happy you enjoyed your first parade! Here in Italy I don't get to go to many parades, but I watched lots in the US. And now I hope you get to watch to 4th of July parade in Woods Hole (ask your Mama for info).
Love to you and your folks,
Marta
Hey Elliott! Thanks for hanging out at the parade with me! Not all parades are rainy like that, but I think it was fun just the same.
