Saint Patrick's Day Parade

My auntie and cousin are waiting for us in Downpatrick. I can't wait to give my cousin Callum this hat I did for him. We're on our way to the Saint Patrick's day parade The train is here, c'mon everyone! It's a big family day out, with my daddy, mummy, brother and granny! And of course my best friend too! The train set off! There's lots of steam! I'm really excited about the parade! I can see Downpatrick cathedral from here. We're nearly there, now! I can see my auntie and cousin! C'mon, it's time to get to the parade! There's lots going on in Downpatrick already, and thousands of people are gathering round for the parade. It's starting to get very busy, but we've just got some time for lunch before the parade begins! We're having Irish stew, to warm our tummies before we go to the parade. This Irish stew is really yummy, it's got potatoes, and meat and carrots in it. Granny loves the stew too. The parade is about to begin. Can you see the parade coming? Look, Mummy, Saint Patrick's coming towards us! Wow, they are big dogs! Look at that man in stilts! There's lots of green! Look at those costumes! Wow! Look at those big colourful dragons. This is so much fun! Look, granny, look! That is so colourful! Happy Saint Patrick's day! It's great to celebrate!
