Parade Day

Saturday was the day of the big Saint Patrick Parade. Mom said I could go if I was bundled up in the stroller. I was up early and ready to go. I've never seen a parade before so this was going to be fun.
Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa went to the parade with me. We found a spot to stand on the sidewalk but I guess it wasn't very crowded because it was really cold outside. I was so bundled up I could hardly see any of the parade. As a matter of fact, I couldn't see anything so I took a nap.
After a while, I heard a terrible noise coming down the street. I asked Grandpa what it was and he said, "Bagpipes." Then these guys walked by playing some funny looking instrument and they were wearing dresses!!. Grandpa says they are called 'kilts'. I asked Grandpa what they wear under the kilts and he said, "Shoes and socks". I asked him why they were marching while they played and he said, "To get away from the sound".
After the bagpipes left, things quieted down so I went back to sleep. When the parade was over, we went home and everybody (except me) had a pizza.
I hope I get to see the parade next year.
