st. patrick's day parade

we attended madison's st. patrick's day parade this past weekend. it seemed like a nice, kid-friendly event. despite the music (two elvis impersonators!) and the fire engine sirens, ramona and her tiny buddy sam slept through the whole thing.

there were the requisite highland dance troups,

dogs in wee little hats,

elvis,
and general cuteness.
