This past weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Kyle's cousins Nicole, Matt and Jon from Arkansas. It was their first southern Mardi Gras experience and we had a blast introducing them to the traditions. Saturday we lined up for the trail ride in LeBleu Settlement. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that day so I do not have any pictures to share. Kylee enjoyed seeing all of the "horsies" and dancing to all of the music. After a full day of float decorating, horse riding and dancing we drove back home to prepare for our next full day of fun. Sunday after church we continued our yearly tradition and attended the Scott Mardi Gras parade. After patiently waiting to find a spot in the crowd we unloaded and grilled lunch before it was time for the parade. All of the kids had a blast catching beads and all other kinds of goodies. It was a very busy, but exciting weekend. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
