Of course here in Louisiana people throw beads even when its not Mardi Gras. Jack has never really experienced Mardi Gras since he was just a few months old when we left. He kept talking about how great it was and asked if Mardi Gras was like this parade. We assured him that it was going to be even better.They also threw candy and I'm pretty sure we have enough that we won't need to buy any for Halloween
Featuring the ULL Band but even more entertaining were the floats with the Sorority's and Fraternity's. They had music blasting and the floats were bouncing and apparently the music we listened to in Jr High and High School is making a comeback. Maybe its just because they are classics.
Here we are loaded down with beads and Jack holding the flag that the cheerleaders threw to him
Can you tell what Payton's favorite catch was
The kids with the loot
OK yes I am a dental hygienist and yes that is my almost one year old with a sucker in his mouth -- it made him really happy (and quiet)
THE ENDAll in all a really good time. The weather was fabulous and the parade lasted almost an hour - perfect for kids.
Can't wait til Mardi Gras and bigger and better parades. We welcome visitors!

We used to watch the parade every year when we lived in Cajun Village. The kids loved it especially because it wasn't crowded and they caught all the loot. Looks like you guys had a great time!
