Mardi Gras Fun

Mardi Gras time again here. We weren't going to get in the parade scene this year but we made an exception. Both of my brothers and their wives were in town and going to the parade in Waveland. I couldn't pass up spending time with them so we met them there. It was alot of fun. After about the first half all the girls warmed up to their uncles that they don't get to see often and were vying for time on Jimmy's shoulders to catch beads. Olivia was happy to see her cousin Seth. He was there with his friend in their Mardi Gras wigs and looked mighty cute.

The best Mardi Gras parade was Ave Kate's school. The first graders read books and make Mardi Gras floats based on the books that they read. They parade around the gym with there floats. A Mardi Gras court is chosen from those that read the most books. Ave Kate had a reading part in the presentation. It was a very cute production.
