La Fheile Padraig (Happy St Patrick's Day in Irish)

We started celebrating St Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 14th by going to O'Malley's to hear live, traditional Irish music. Clare liked the songs from her "homeland".

Captured her enjoying herself.
Having a snuggle with daddy (I think someone's a little tired).

Tuesday, March 17th on our way to the Dogtown Parade with our friend Alex. (Dogtown=Irish section of STL where thousands of people go on St Patty's Day.)

Okay, so probably not a good pic to have your kid holding a bottle of whiskey, but they didn't know what it was and had fun pretending to be leprechauns.

Thousands upon thousands of people. The parade go-ers were 5 rows deep.

Striking a pose to sport her Irish garb.
There's our beautiful Irish lass.

Later that day......to the Royale (our favorite neighborhood hang-out) to hear more Irish music. Apparently, the harpist is in the top 5 of Irish harpists in the world.

Both of us enjoying the day and the festivities.
