Day 56 - February 25

It's Mardi Gras time!!

For those that don't know, Mobile, AL, is actually the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the United States (take that, New Orleans!). And, along with that, it's a family-friendly celebration where waiving and shouting at the people on the floats in the parades gets you beads, rather than having to, ehem, perform.

So we headed to a parade tonight and found that having a cute little girl with you gets you lots of stuffed animal throws, along with beads and Moon Pies of all flavors!

Here's everyone but me as we got ready to head back to the car. The other thing missing from this picture is the GIANT teddy bear Michaela got. She cleaned up!
