Happy St. Patrick's Day

The Greatest Show on Earth has come to town.

So, they had an ELEPHANT PARADE this morning. Whoo hoo!

So, we went down on the train, me, M40, K5, C4, and Q2 (note the St. Patrick's Day hat!)


Q2 was a little grouchy while we were waiting for the elephants, but amazingly C4, dog-lover, never fussed going to see elephants, not dogs.


Still waiting ... K5 counting to 120 (because the handlers said 2 minutes for the elephants) and C4 ... just twirling like nobody's business.



Then the elephants came ...


... and STOPPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Q2, elephant lover, was less happy about this event than the other two. I had to hold her the whole time.


The elephants lifted legs, raised flags, and waved.



And then one pooped. But really great! they were just 15 feet from us. Perfect placement. Look, even C4 has a smile on her face.


The elephants walked out and then ... here come the horses! the clowns! and C4 got a high-5 from a clown. What?? And no crying over the fact that a clown (and not a dog) gave her a high-5! What is wrong with this world??


And then it was over.
