"Hey, throw me something, Mister!"
The catch...
Have to put it on...
And get ready to catch more!
It was a successful parade...
The next day Emmylou tried her first crawfish but it was a little spicy so she stuck with the corn. I think she ate at least 4 or 5 cobs.
And there were so many kids there this year! Here are a bunch of them sharing Cheetos and those things that you throw that pop...
Here's Emmylou with Ella...
And with Zach, one of my cousin Amy's sons...
Some of the others in our crew...
Emily, Leslie and Sharon:
Emily and Sharon, in their best Mardi Gras garb:
We celebrated Lizzie's birthday on Saturday night with a yummy Doberge cake...
Emmylou looked pretty excited about that cake...
We had lots of fun on Fat Tuesday. Emmylou wore her peacock costume but only for about 15 minutes because it was so hot. Here she is in it with Grammie...
Then during the Rex parade, the LSU marching band and dancers stopped in front of us for a long time. Doesn't Emmylou look excited to be posing with the dancers? (This photo is really for Daddy.)
And here's Emily getting paddled by some guys who had a pretty elaborate costume/set-up as the unofficial New Orleans Ping Pong League. Ouch!
*So I started writing this post a while ago but got frustrated because Blogger would only let me upload one photo at a time. Today (2/11/08) I've finally gotten back to it!
