Today is Fat Tuesday. Coming from Missouri, where New Orleans was only about 8 hours away, Scott & I were lucky enough to go to Mardi Gras a few times. It was truly amazing! Just the atmosphere down there is so much fun. Scotts brother, Mark, and his sister, Jana, have been to New Orleans with us. Once for a paintball tournament (which was played in the mud!)
The Things we Love about Mardi Gras and New Orleans:
1. The Parades
2. The Beads
3. Creole food
4. French Quarter
5. Beignets
Graison, Baylee, and Scott all wore beads today. We have a collection of the nice New Orleans beads, so they wanted to show the off to Idahoans who aren't quit sure what Mardi Gras is all about!
We live really close now, too...and I can't wait to go over there and visit. Thats so cool that ya'll went down there when you lived in Sikeston, lol!! Gotta get some culture somehow...haha, I kid! Sikeston is FULL of culture, right?
