On Saturday Jason, Zachary and I went to Mobile to go to a Mardi Gras parade. We have them around Gulfport but they are so much better in Mobile and in New Orleans. N.O. is a little too crazy for us so we opted for Mobile. It was a really nice day, perfect parade weather. It was great because the traffic wasn't nearly as bad as we thought it was going to be and we ended up getting a really good parking spot. We found a place to stand that was right at the beginning of the parade so we were able to leave really easily after it was over. It only lasted about 40 minutes at the most but that was about all Zachary wanted to see. Here he is waiting for the parade to start.
This float made me think of my family and friends back in Kansas (the sunflowers, not the enormous butterflies).
The floats just kept getting bigger and better.
God Bless America!
I thought this pirate one was really neat.
Here we are after the parade was over. Wish I would have kept my sunglasses on! We caught a lot more beads than we have around our necks (they are in the bag I'm holding). We also caught a lot of stuffed animals, frisbees, candy, moonpies, etc. It was a great time!
