Last week was the St Patrick's day parade. About half of 5th Avenue was blocked off for the event and was filled with lots of revellers all dressed in green (of course!)

 

Unlike some of the other parades in the city,there were no floats,just a lot of marching bands from different areas of the city, regiments,schools and families.

This was the Grand Marshall of the parade!

The whole of 5th Ave was pretty much a sea of green!

This irish greyhound was HUGE!

More revellers outside the Apple flagship store(at the bottom of central park). The street was so full of people we couldn't move anywhere!

Last week Sarah's Mum and brother came to stay. We thought we'd show some of their photos of all the things we did and saw!

Saturday was St Patrick's Day. There was a huge parade and all of 5th Avenue was bursting with people all dressed in green. (Tom has a whole bunch of shots from the parade that we'll put in another post soon!)

Times Square for a Broadway show- we all went to see Sister Act and highly recommend it, it was so much fun!

Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately Matthew couldn't get basketball tickets this time because of the Knick's 'Linsanity'!

We had to stop by the flatiron district for more delicious cupcakes! Unfortunately Tom missed out on this one being at work.

The city is pretty much in bloom now!

On towards Rockefeller Centre, where the ice skating rink is still up!
