Luckily the people next to us told us that was the dog parade and the children's parade was next so we wait about another hour and the parade started. Bodin was ticked off at first when they threw necklaces and not candy. I explained to him that the game for Mardi Gras is to see how many beads you can get. You wave at them and yell BEADS... BEADS. Now that it is a competition, he is loving it! He even got a Batman necklace. Landon, next time you need to come down for this parade, it is your kind of parade. I must say that the kid's did get their fair share of beads. Happy Mardi Gras!
We then went home and had our Valentine dessert that McKinna, Bodin, and I had worked on that morning. (If you know me well, you know I hate Jell-O so this was out of love for my children:)).
