The 36th annual Indianapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade took place this year!
We showed up early to enjoy all that we could in the March sunshine!
As we walked along Vermont Street, we saw some familiar faces!
Not only was Eunan playing some of our favorite tunes, the guys from Highland Reign were there!
We had a spot of Irish coffee and some glazed doughnuts courtesy of Village Pantry!
Then we enjoyed some live music and let Victor take it all in!
One of our favorite Reigniacs, Robert, was there to chat us up!
Eunan stopped for a quick photo op after his set!
Then it was off to the steps of the War Memorial to take in the parade!
Victor took a few minutes for a snack!
We called Gran and Victor cuddled up to Aunt Ashley!
The parade was longer than we remembered (about an hour)!
He was absolutely enchanting in his leprechaun outfit from Aunt Ashley!
The floats, cars, mounted police, and revelers of all kinds made up the hour long parade!
One of our favorite floats was this rainbow with a pot'o'gold!
We also look for the Shamrock every year!
It was sunny with a bit of a chilly wind!
Definitely sweater weather!
After the parade, we headed back to the Hoosier Lottery stage to see Highland Reign!
We had promised them we would see some of their set!
Of course they played our favorites like "Irish Rover", but they also made a special shout out to Victor!
We think the world of them!
After all the outside activities, it was time to cuddle up with a warm meal!
Ashley made some of the best corned beef we have ever had! Emily chipped in the soda bread!
We had some Guinness Blonde in our Brockway pint glasses to add to the authenticity!
Victor took a long nap while a leprechaun kept watch!
When he awoke, he was ready to play!
We can see the Irish mischief in those eyes!
He really wanted to tell Aunt Ashley how much fun he was having!
We had some Irish coffee, watched Brave, and enjoyed the open windows and shamrocks!
Victor enjoyed the snuggles and his comfy green outfit!
Charley was all decked out for the day!
She was so excited to meet Victor! She took a bath and donned her clover scarf!
Victor got some sun on his little cheeks!
He was really excited to pet Charley!
The scent of lucky shamrocks filled the air as we enjoyed the sound of Irish laughter.
Great twin day! Erin go Braugh!
