Yes, even here in Panama City they get into the Mardi Gras spirit... or at least they try! The boys and I went to the children's parade on Friday afternoon and the whole family went to the St. Andrews parade on Saturday... it was really a beautiful day, if not a little on the cool side. In this photo of Grady Joe, you can see he is trying to do his best Mr. T impersonation....
Todd Jr was a little chilly but waited very patiently for the parade to begin... It felt a little like we were back at Disney... What time is the 3:00 parade??? Well, of course it depends on where you are standing... unfortunately we got it wrong and were at the end of the route, so the 3:00 parade turned into a 4:00 parade... not especially easy with the Triple Trouble, but we survived.
Gant Gant even got in on the action. We let him out of his stroller while we were waiting, but we had to keep chasing him... needless to say they all slept very well on Saturday night...
Dat Dat and his Grady Joe... "Protect me Daddy," that was Grady's mantra for the day. There was a house... the yellow one in the background... and the revelers there kept shooting off a cannon. Scared the piss out of all of us.
Dat Dat and all his boys! We really did have a good time. Todd and I were just glad we both took hats with us!
Also, we did not get a picture because he changed so quickly after the service, but Todd Jr served as an acolyte for the first time this last Sunday. He was so handsome and so good. Really at this point he is only an observer, but we are so proud.
Have a great day... oh, I tried to find a king cake today... I failed miserably... maybe next year!
