Little Rascals parade - the start of Mardi Gras!

Scarlett and I went to the Little Rascals parade today. The official start of Mardi Gras for us! Scarlett was a bit apprehensive at the start of the parade (of course they lead off with police cars and sirens, so who could blame her?), but after awhile really got into it! She danced with the bands and cheerleaders marching in the parade and even got the hang of waving at the floats so people would throw her beads.
