Mardi Gras

My family, friends and I love Mardi Gras! Mostly we love to drink illegally out in public, but we also love screaming for beads and going to all the bars afterwards. My mom used to have a big Mardi Gras party after the parade for everyone and it was a blast!

But we haven't been in about 4 years, because I was pregnant with Acadia then I thought she was too young to go. My mom was in the parade this year - fun! - so we decided we would take the kids to see what it was like now going as two respectable (well...sort of) parents. We stood in the section assigned to families and Acadia had SO much fun!

Acadia's Mardi Gras bag for her loot!
