We took the boys out on Monday evening to watch the Orpheus parade uptown.
This is the first time that we tried a night parade with our little people.
To this point we had not seen a parade yet
and wanted to make sure that we got at least 1 good one in for the year.
We always go out on Mardi Gras day, but you just can't count on February southern Louisiana weather.
We parked in our usual spot and enjoyed a few hours of fun.
Here is Roman wide eyed when the first float approached us.
Can you imagine what goes through the mind of a 22 month old?
Lights, noise, and tons of strangers.
Baby Bear did great.
He pretty much stayed on my hip for 2 hours.
Nights parade are so beautiful.
Especially if you catch one of the super krewes.
Baby Bear's feet finally hit the ground.
He was content with a bead and a cup.
He insisted on saying cheese for the camera.
"Hey Ma.... look what I got!"
We tried Griff out in a ladder.
It was not his thing.
His parading preference:
held by Daddy and walking to the front for each float.
Likes: to catch something
Dislikes: to walk away from a float empty handed
3 year old problems...
On a Monday night here we are NOLA style dancing in the streets.
The rest of the country fast asleep...
610 Stompers:
Coaching short wearing, mustache lovin', dancin' machine troop of guys.
Gotta love 'em!
