Madie, Hayden and I went to the Dressler's to eat and hang out and wait for the parade to start. They live on the route! While waiting, the kids enjoyed "The DITCH!"

Can I get a smile???

Hayden hanging out "on the other side of the ditch" with Jennifer Woolsey. He realized he could catch a lot back there!!

Whoo Hoo!!! A FOOTBALL!!!

They must be REALLY bored!

They have now covered me in pokey little things..they found in the grass.

My favorite part of Mardi Gras parades is "People Watching"~

This is what I call

"The Crap Cart"

You can see these rolling down the road...

covered in really expensive CHEAP Crap!

I think this may have been a first for me. I can understand the message..however, it just seemed a little out of place..

Preaching to a bunch of Drunks.

Many floats were already out of beads..
