So here in LA, Mardi Gras is huge....but in a fun, kid-friendly way. We went to Mardi Gras parades two weekends in a row down in Baton Rouge. The floats and marching bands were super cool and the kids loved getting tons of beads, cups, stuffed animals, and various lighted up things. And the girls had a week long unit learning about Mardi Gras - making masks and eating king cake (Audrey's class made theirs by frosting and sprinkling glazed donuts - how cute!) And to complete the experience the kindergarteners had a parade for the pre-k kids. Each of the kindergarten classes had a theme for their krewe and they decorated wagons. So cute!
Me and some of the girls -Robin, Elizabeth, and Trisha

This all look so fun! Saige and Davin would love the parades...and me too.
