The weekend before last we watched dragons and lions march through the streets of San Francisco in celebration of the Chinese New Year, and this weekend just gone we joined a sea of green for the St Patrick's Day parade.

Happy St Patrick's Day
Happy St Patrick's Day!
We're not doing anything much to celebrate today however over the weekend we got into the festive spirit by attending the St Patrick's Day Parade in San Francisco.
Last year we took the girls to the parade and they were pretty keen to dress in green (or orange in Ava's case) and go along again this year - mostly for all the candy, stickers and green beads that are thrown to the crowd by the parade participants! So much candy...
Like last year, San Francisco was blessed with stunning weather for the parade. It really does feel like Summer has arrived already. Not a proper Summer of course, but a San Francisco Summer!
Here's a look at the fun of the St Patrick's Day Parade, otherwise known by Lola as "The Clover Festival" or "The Green Parade".

Happy St Patrick's Day
This weekend we celebrated St Patrick's Day by attending the St Patrick's Day parade in San Francisco. We joined thousands of other green clad people and watched as the floats, fire trucks, horses, marching bands, Irish dancers and local workers' unions marched down Market Street toward Civic Center.
