Montreal`s St-Patrick`s Day Parade 2012

On Sunday I ventured out to celebrate the Montreal`s St-Patrick’s Day Parade. It was an absolutely fabulous day to be outdoors. The sun was shining; the crowd was in good spirits and the overall atmosphere was energetic and happy. I had the chance to meet a few new editions to the circle of friends I`d made over the years. It was great meeting Gabrielle, Samuel, Sakina as well as seeing my darlings, Joshua and Jesse. I truly love being around children (probably because I can give them back – lol).  I find there is nothing more beautiful than watching a child smile. Their anticipation is incredible to watch, the sheer joy they get from the excitement and entertainment is priceless. I was a little disappointed that the floats were not as spectacular as I remember but it did not seem to bother any of the kids, they seem enthralled by the marching bands, the parade of people and the cotton candy. I got to spend the day playing auntie and enjoying a pleasant afternoon soaking in the sun surrounded by wonderful friends and family, what more can you ask for?
