Krewe of Centaur

Last night we (Grandpa, the kids and I) went to Float Load for Krewe of Centuar. It was our first time going and it was awesome! A couple from church is on a Krewe and they invited us to come. We were able to get on their float and pass out beads! It was as close as I could get for Anderson who was wanting to be in a parade.  We were also asked if we wanted to get on another float, of course we did! We saw many more floats and ate dinner there. We had a few meltdowns but overall the kids did well! Since we had seen all the floats up close and personal we had to go to the parade today. I thought I was taking us to the family section (no drinking/smoking) but I didn't-oops. Our spot turned out to be ok and the groups of people we were next to were kind enough to let us use their port-a-potties.  The kids did great! We arrived to the parade 1 1/2 hours early and then it took another 1 1/2 hours  for the parade to reach us! Lucky for us Grandpa walked to McDonalds and got us burgers and fries! We came home with beads, a stuffed animal or two and light up wands. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
