Mr. Jonny and his wife Linda were the first ones to take us to a Mardi Gras parade when we moved here 4 years ago! Jonny rode several parades a while back and had the perfect spot for us to stand each year! This year, Linda was in Utah visiting her mom for the week, but Jonny made it just in time to help Jessica snag some of the very best "throws" of the year! Thanks Mr. Jonny! For helping us learn how to love Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama!
Each year I am more and more impressed by the floats that they create for each Mardi Gras season! We love watching the parade stroll through town and see the imaginative themes they come up with each year! This year was no exception, but for some reason out of all the amazing themes the Societies picked to high light this year...we all ended up at the one that spotlighted all the famous "watering holes" here on the Gulf Coast! We hope the youth that were with us didn't notice!
Isn't it funny to watch from a distance and see who is begging for throws and who isn't? This was Arnold's very first parade since moving here. For some reason or another he was always working or sleeping for work whenever we ventured into town for Mardi Gras. This year he happened to be off so we dragged him along. He enjoyed the parade for the most part but kept his hands down most of the time. We'll have to work on his technique for future parades!
Here is the family waiting for the parade to start along with some very fun youth from our ward!
