.... My great (times about 5 or so) grandfather really did come to the USA from Ireland, hence the MCCORMICK!
On the last Saturday of Spring Break, we were able to be in the City of Jackson's St. Patrick's day parade. Many to thanks to my mom's friends, Linda and Johnny Bass, for letting us take part in their whole set up. It's a big deal to have a float, they start preparing months in advance, they get there at the crack of down to park and haul out there tailgating stuff for the day. They so graciously let us join in on everything, and we even got to ride up front by the driver on their float, which is a awesome antique fire truck! We got to ring the bell a few times too. Lydia enjoyed the whole parade, she sat there waving to people and having a ball! She was exhausted at the end of the day, but she was her normal little attention grabbing and entertaining self for all those she came across!

| She was having fun, I don't know why I couldn't capture any smiles.... most of them she was dancing or clapping so she makes her "serious face" |

| So sleepy! |

| In my grove chair, but wait, this isn't the grove! |

| The funniest float.... the whole theme was former Governor, Haley Barbour, and his 200 something pardon's he recently caught flack for giving. This is a bobble head Haley, he was hilarious! He walked around passing out pieces of paper with "pardoned" on it. The float and walkers were all wearing orange or jail bird suits. |
 |
| Whew, that was a long, but fun ride!! |
 |
| And ready for Church on Sunday morning! |
