D'lberville Mardi Gras Parade

The girl's experienced their first Mardi Gras parade! They were worried that they were not going to get any beads. We had more "stuff" in hand by the time the parade was finished than last Christmas! We parked nearby and walked several blocks near the starting point of the parade. For 1 hour, different floats went by showering everyone with "gifts" from above. Both girls said their necks felt heavy from the beads on the way back to the truck. The weather was tolerable, in the high 50's with a wind at times that kept Kelly's ears quite cold! Having been in New Orleans several times during Mardi Gras, I'm glad the girls got their beads without having to do silly things...
