Mardi Gras

 

 

 

Waiting for the parades to start

 

Playing with Jackson

 

Playing with the ball.....still no parade in sight...

 

snack time - still waiting.....

 

Finally, it's starting

 

the bands are pretty loud - be we can't be scared off that easy!

 

I see the first float! Mama, will they throw beads to us?

 

Oh, yeah, look what I caught,  ehm, picked up....

 

Anika got some too!

 

and then we headed back to our Lunch and rest spot for some burgers and chips before the next parade starts again

 

well, some of us played so much at lunch, they needed a rest - good thing the wagon wasn't full of beads yet...

 

Here we are playing with Weeza anbd Pawpaw, while we wait for the afternoon parades

 

Look, look, its starting! The Police Motorcycles always open the parade.

 

 

 

and we collect more beads

 

until Jonas poops out  - not even the blaring music from the bands and the floats can keep him awake.

 

Jack was still somewhat awake at this time...

 

Weeza sat with Jonas while he was sleeping, while still catching beads!

 

Snuggeling

 

and finally, Jack gave up the fight against the sleepiness as well.

Happy Mardi Gras!

So, lets see what we're going to do now

 

How about some baseball today

Big Sis is playing along too

 

After playing in the back yard, its time to move to the front yard and ride bikes and scooters

 

Race, anyone?

 

watching the Jungle book after a long day of playing - completely zoned out

 

and we just had to throw in the picture of Jonas enjoying Weeza's chocolate cake
