Beads, Buds, Bacchus

Wes and I had the greatest time this Carnival (Mardi Gras) season. Now that we live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast we are allowed two days off school to PARTAY! We texted our new friends Katie, John, Lauren, and Matt and ventured to many coastal town to catch beads, eat good and not so good food, and celebrate.

Our adventure started Friday night in Ocean Springs at the night parade, but I was so enthusiastic about catching throws that I totally forgot to take pictures.

Next, the Gulfport Day Parade

The first of Wes' funny face fotos.

We got the best beads at this parade because I climbed on a tall rock and became a target. YIPEE!

Sunday was a very BIG day. We started at the Pass Christian Parade...

 

LAUREN, thanks for inviting us to hang out with you and Matt!

Our Carnival Krewe: John, Katie, Lauren, Wes, and Matt!

Then we headed to NOLA for the Bacchus Parade where Drew Brees was the king and love was in the air.

Wes helped a little girl collect TONS of stuff! How fun!

Monday, we took a much needed rest. Then we ventured to Biloxi for the FAT TUESDAY PARADE. It was cold and windy but brought lots of unexpected entertainment.

Until next time....
