No, we didn’t make it down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year. No, there were no women “jumping really high”, *ahem*, for beads. Instead, we got to go to our very family friendly local parade.
The boys got a little crazy while waiting for the parade to start…
The ever important “dog walker” part of the parade…
One of 3? real floats…
This year we hit the big time – we had a marching band!
MWW = Mostly Wordless Wednesday. ;o)
Perfect night with the kids!

I had no idea this parade existed until this morning when I some photos on the ARLNow blog. I definitely would have gone if I had known about it. I'm glad you all that had fun!

I haven't been to a local parade since I was a baby. I might be severly disappointed – I only watch Macy's and our locals certainly can't compete with that. You didn't encourage your boys to earn beads? 😉

I love that you had your own parade.

A Mardi Gras parade would be pretty fun to see, no matter the size! We don't have one around here. 🙁
