Mardi Gras 2010

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! Today we celebrated by going with our friends to the Metairie parades. Scarlett and I had a blast. Scarlett hasn't stopped talking about the floats she saw and how she "caught beads!!". Her two prized catches of the day though were a tiny stuffed pig and a rose. Here's the pictures!

Enjoying Doritos with BrookeStill waiting for the parade to start!

Oreos with Grayson and Will - still waiting on the parade!Finally - here it comes! Time to get up in the ladders! To all of y'all non-New Orleans folks - these seats are screwed on top of a 6 foot ladder so the kids can see without sitting on your shoulders the whole time. Scarlett LOVED it!!
The Budweiser Clydesdales. Bummer I missed a picture of Rachael Ray - the grand marshal!

After a few floats have gone by. Looking more festive now!At home after the festivities. Scarlett wanted to continue to catch beads, so she was throwing them at me and Cameron. She was very sweet to tell us to watch our faces though because beads hurt.
