Throw Me Something Mister!

It's carnival time! This time of year is so fun in Louisiana- king cake, parades, Mardi Gras music... nothing beats it!

David, Gabe and I headed downtown this afternoon for the Mistic Krewe of Mutts parade. We met up with my friend Jean and her sweet "baby" Stella. It was Gabe's first parade, and he seemed to enjoy it. He was silent nearly the entire time- just taking everything in. The parade theme this year was Space Pawdessy. Pet owners parade their dogs along the route and throw beads while you can throw treats at their dogs. Needless to say a good time was had by all!

Gabe petting Stella. How much do you love Jean's hat!!!



Gabe's first bead!




Gabe's reaction to the bead!



Love the bulldog in the tutu!



Sweet little puppies! I tried to convince David that we need a dog but he wasn't buying it!



Seriously how funny is this!



I loved that people got so into it!



Gabe and all of his loot...beads, candy and a stuffed animal!



Cute video of Gabe and David before the parade began.



Next Mardi Gras adventure... Spanish Town parade! I'm so excited that my fabulous friend Lisa and her super cute baby boy are coming in from Dallas for the parade!!!
