Forecasters predicted rain for today. Turned out to be a sunny day in the 80’s. I don’t remember Metairie being quite so crowded on Mardi Gras Day. Maybe it was the non stop running for the last four days, but today was just tiresome. Sooooo many people. 18 wheeler floats that the riders couldn’t really even see the kiddos. Even I put Mad & Bitty on my shoulders so they could be seen. Today we left with the least amount of throws. Honestly, we didn’t even care. We enjoyed the last few days so much that today just didn’t matter quite as much. We enjoyed hanging out with friends and family on the parade route. And ducked out just in time to beat most of the traffic. All in all I’d say our girls had a tremendous amount of fun this Mardi Gras season and I’m so thankful we were able to be here!
