Usually, our weekends are very busy with work stuff, but we try to inject as much fun as we can. Sometimes we aren't as successful as others, but this weekend was full of fun, and I think the next few weekends will be, too.
Friday night Wes had a band clinic at PRCC, and I spent a great night at home listening to jazz, eating pizza, and relaxing. Saturday morning, Wes got up early because he had more clinic at PRCC, and then we hit the road to Daphne, AL to judge an indoor contest. It was a short show and while sometimes these things are boring and the groups are bad; I really had a good time. The more I understand the winterguard and drumline activities, the more fun it becomes. Plus, my friend, Chris Word, was there to keep me entertained. Sunday, we subbed for one of the two- year old sunday school classes. Wes was not looking forward to this, but we both had a great time and got away with only changing on one diaper. YAY! We started out with about 4 kids, but ended up with 8! We don't want to do that every Sunday, but once in a while it is fun. Then we ate sushi for lunch and headed down to New Orleans for the Bacchus parade. It was my first Mardi Gras parade, and we had a blast! We made camp on St. Charles. It was so nice, and the atmosphere was great. Kids were playing in the street, music was playing, and we had a front row seat. The floats were beautiful, and we came home with so many beads, it is CRAZY! My wonderful husband chased down a float to get me some beads with stuffed tigers on them. I can't wait to wear them to school tomorrow because we are the Hattiesburg Tigers. :)
We have plans for several more exciting weekends, starting now! This coming weekend, we are headed to Huntsville, AL. I am going to stay in Huntsville and hang out with my sisters and their husbands, tour a rocket, and eat. Wes is going to head up to Tennessee to judge an indoor show. The following weekend we will be in Kosciusko to celebrate my birthday. The next weekend, we are taking the Purvis kids to Pensacola to compete in an indoor show. Following that, we will head down to Thibadeaux, LA for more judging and fine dining at Flanagan's. Whew, gotta love those weekends!
Happy Mardi Gras!
XOXOXOXO
Hi! Love the Mardi Gras trip...so jealous. I've always wanted to go to a parade. You've inspired me to start a blog. I'm trying to add myself to your followers, because it took me way too long to read this post. I need to stay up-to-date. Be careful in all your travels. Let me know if you can squeeze us in while you're in Kosy. Would love to see you and wish you a happy b'day in person:) Marsha
