Mardi Gras in full swing




Mobile Mardi Gras is in full swing at our house. We have already attended two Dauphin Island parades, two downtown parades, one school parade and one neighborhood parade. The prize catch so far is a giant Brown bear that connell has begun to sleep with. We also managed to catch Casey a cheeseburger squeaky toy which she has thoroughly enjoyed. We have had one really cold night and today was a wet neighborhood Mardi Gras parade. We weathered the rain and got out there and caught some beads. Connell will be parading at his school on Friday and we already have a huge bag of items to throw. We have already been to one float inspection. We almost didn't make it since Clara let Casey out the door and the family along with two separate neighbors chased Casey down the block for about 30 minutes. Included you will see a picture of the kids with Casey prior to her escape. You will also see a picture of Connell with some of his friends from school at the float inspection. Hopefully the weather will clear up. Ben has been checking the 10 day forecast and he assures me it should be nice by next weekend. Here's hoping at least.
