mardi gras

Mardi Gras, in case you somehow weren't aware, is a pretty big deal here in Louisiana.  We have parades almost every weekend for four weeks and people come from across the nation to see them.  We had our own visitors for the festivities this year...Gaga and Grandpa!

This year we went to the Krewe of Gemini parade on Valentine's Day!  It was so much fun to see how excited the kids were about the parade and all the festivities.  They remembered the fun from the year before and were so excited to be able to watch the parade again.

We set up a spot along the parade route with our neighbors and work friends.  Then we hung out and tailgated all afternoon until the parade came by!

We were further down the route this year which meant we got to see the parade at night.  The kids loved waving at the people on the floats, dancing to all the music, and catching beads!  While we had a blast, the kids were SO tired by the time it finished!

If you want to see the parades next year come visit!!!
