We have successfully weathered our first Mardi Gras season and wanted to share some of the highlights. We went to only two parades and had a great time at both of them. We first went to the parade in a little town called "Youngsville" the Saturday before Fat Tuesday. It was really fun and the kids got A LOT of "trash"! We went home with a shopping bag literally full of beads and plastic coings and little cups. We went to the King's Parade that came through Lafayette on Fat Tuesday and it was a blast! The floats and costumes were amazing and kids got a lot of beads again! To give you idea of how big a deal this parade was, the King had to pay $50,000.00 to be in it. Hmmm, two new, nice cars or three hours of royalty? We only went to the one parade on Tuesday, but there were parades going on all day long. It was a great time!

Looks like a lot of fun! Those floats look huge!! I love the "pimped out" pic! Ella is such a cutie!! :o)
Jon must be used to being pimped out though, being in a boy band and all...
Ella looks good in beads! You guys are party animals!! Tyler would really appreciate Courtney's boy band comment.
It was a lot of fun! Yeah, Jon really misses the fame and notoriety that he had in his boy band days. I told him to just wait. In just a few years our girls will be the same age as his old fans.
Jen M, how do you like your new house? We'd all love to see some pics...
As soon as it is clean, I will post some pics. How is that for open-ended?
I'm puting my foot down and demanding pictures NOW!
