Happy Mardi Gras

Riley and I and our good friends, Cameron and Courtney headed down to Fairhope this weekend for the Mardi Gras activities. We had so much fun and the weather was really good too. I took the day off Friday...I call it a sanity day (since I was out of personal days). There was a kindergarten parade that Riley and I actually caught on Friday when we walked into town. They were adorable (little kindergarteners trying to throw out beads...that was the longest parade!) Friday and Saturday night were the fun parades downtown. Now watching the parades in Fairhope is nothing like watching them in New Orleans or even Mobile, but its a little more my style now! After the parades we headed off the one of my favorite places to eat and listen to some music. On Saturday we were lucky enough to find FREE crawfish!! YUM! That is one of my favorite things about Mardi Gras, you know its crawfish time!! We had a blast and got plenty of beads (innocently!) Although Riley and Cameron were fighting old women for them!!! Those women there are serious about some Mardi Gras!
