Mardi Gras season has come and gone and despite falling super early in the year, we were able to partake in parade festivities three times! Thank goodness Mattie is game for pretty much anything because her brother was all about the throws and beads and mastered the saying, "Throw me somethin', mister!".
The first parade we took the kiddos to see this season was one that Mr.'s dad and step-mom ride in. To say we ended up with some loot was a bit of an understatement. Bags of beads and stuffed animals made their way home with us and Jackson was ready for more!
And more he got!
In keeping with
tradition, Stephanie and the girls made their annual
trip over for the week of Mardi Gras. Not only did the girls get to
meet the newest princess of our brood, but they got to see two parades
this year! The first parade was Saturday morning and the kids had a
blast. The parade was a little smaller, so they were able to hang on
the street and catch beads up close.
On Fat Tuesday we headed to my parent's Mardi Gras krewe headquarters and camped out for the day. The weather was warm, but dreadfully rainy and gross. We all wore our rain boots and let's just say by the end of the day the kids had to strip down to their undies before heading home. Puddles, fun jumps and mud had never been more fun! Of course, Miss Mattie slept through the festivities and didn't even know what fun she was missing.
