Mardi Gras in Mobile



We all knew it would happen...that I would get behind on my blog :) Sorry for taking so long to update! We've been VERY BUSY this past week getting ready for our big move to Texas. Anyway...enough excuses...on with the blog!!

This past weekend we had a blast at Mobile's Mardi Gras parades! Bill, William, Janene, Anna, and myself went to see the MOT parade Saturday night in Mobile. Somehow or another we ended up in a fairly "rough" crowd, but thankfully there were plenty of cops close by so we were SAFE, although things did look a little scary from time to time.

You would NOT believe all of the loot these two kids caught from the floats...beads, Moon Pies, roasted peanuts, stuffed animals, candy, and did I mention Moon Pies??

William was fascinated with the police men's horses -- they're much bigger than the animals he is used to coming in contact with (2 wiener dogs)! He also seemed to enjoy the floats and marching bands, or maybe he just enjoyed his Mom and Dad holding him...who knows?! All in all it was a good night...no crying babies, an abundance of Moon Pies, and a good time had by everyone!

I love the lastest pictures. You have some really cute girl cousins in Mobile and Crawford. It looks like you going to catch up with Neil really soon and make him look short. The way you are growing you will be taller than me by the time you are four.
