Mardi Gras 2012

Louisiana keeps calling our name, so just like last year, we made the drive across 'the border' to attend a Mardi Gras parade. Jeff's boss and his wife were riding in Centaur and they were kind enough to invite us participate in all the festivities. It worked out great because we were also able to spend time with Becka and Josh!

This year we had our own spot on the parade route- complete with a potty :) We were joined by Jeff's family, his co-workers, and my sister too.

 The weather was a bit cold, but we did our best to stay warm. And once the parade actually began, everyone forgot about the low temperatures.

Afton really got into collecting stuffed animals, beads and cups.

Maisy wasn't so sure about the parade. Once she got the mini-umbrella, she didn't really want anything else!

Everyone had a blast, we were thrilled to spend time with Becka and Josh, and plans are already underway to do it again next year. Let the good times roll!
