Well, Mardi Gras is over for another year...as Lent begins.
The PARTY is over and now it's time to repent!
Thought I would post some pictures of some of the parades. That's a king in the one above.
This was a beautiful float. You might have to enlarge the photo to see ALL the beads hanging behind the "throwers".
It's all about getting the most and the best beads. As you can see, the guy in the photo above must have won the contest! As you saw in the first photos, so many of the adults REALLY get dressed up. The kids...not so much. :)
On their way to getting the "booty".
Even the trucks (we don't have cars here) are decorated.
Yes, that is a REALLY steep incline it is parked on.
Looks like Little Man made out OK!
We had a lot of fun, but missed Daddy who is still on his ship.
And, for your viewing pleasure, please enjoy the video so you can experience it all first hand. Notice my kidos on the fence at the end.

Looks like a lot of fun! I can't believe how many beads they actually give away! Crazy.
What colorful photos. I've never seen so many beads in one place.
Now THAT'S a celebration! What a bead fest!! I wish I could've been there with you all.
Wow! That's a seriously FUN parade!
Hey! I go to FLC! I found your blog by accident! How cool!
