Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras season is HUGE in New Orleans. I didn't understand the magnitude until we moved here. Life revolves around the parades, almost every single business closes on Fat Tuesday, and Brad was on holiday leave both Monday and Fat Tuesday. Giving us with a four day weekend! I can't say we've caught the Mardi Gras Bug. Instead of sticking around for Mardi Gras celebrations, we headed to the beach for a family vacation. (pictures in a future post)
We did manage to go to the Mardi Gras parade on base. It isn't anything extravagant. But gave Logan the chance to catch some beads.

Logan's friend Yzzie went to 13 parades. She was giving Logan tips on how to get more beads. "You have to yell, 'Give me something, Mista!' if you want beads Logan."

When is the parade gonna be here!

Waiting for the parade.

Here come the police cars with lights flashing.

Logan loves any kind of truck and will wave to say Hi!

Hey, that looks a little familiar. 

Logan must have yelled pretty loud to get that kind of loot.

It's time to go home already?
