Parade, Parades and MORE Parades!!

Well I have to say this Mardi Gras was fabulous! The kids were all finally old enough to understand the rules and have a GREAT time! We went to a ton of parades this year and we caught more beads and moon pies to last us a lifetime...or until NEXT year...lol! If you have never been to Mobile for Mardi Gras, then you really should come and check it out! We took the kids to all the parades we went to EXCEPT Joe Cain day. (we went to about 5 parades of the 25-30 parades in the area). We try not to go the men parades because they throw too hard and end up pegging people! Joe Cain is the best day of Mardi Gras...its the Sunday before Fat Tuesday and the party starts (well I dont think the party stops the entire 2 weeks on Mardi Gras) around 8 a.m. and goes until you just cant party anymore. This year Terry and I ran in the Joe Cain 5K and it was a blast....then partied on Dauphin Street and finally caught the big parade...which is FUN! I really hated to see Mardi Gras go this year......but I am excited about next year.....its LATE (Fat Tuesday is March 8th) so that means the weather SHOULD be nice and warm and that makes for an even better time! Here are some of the pictures from the parades...I just mixed them in all together...I cannot remember all the ones we went too! Enjoy!

Savannah and Kamden...it was COLD outside...like 40 and this parade was on the beach...so it was really freezing!

Me and my babies on Fat Tuesday...Mad & Bryant with yet another moonpie! Kam and I dont really care for them too much!

Bryant was the real bead getter this year...he got bags of stuff at every parade!

Mad really didnt want to stop to take a picture, but I made him...lol!
