We got the opportunity to attend this family oriented Mardi Gras parade in Fairhope, AL, with our friends Curtis and Jessica Houston. We started out on shaky ground because Madeline was very tired from a birthday party earlier that day, and she didn't want to walk...or stand up for that matter. However, as the parade arrived, she quickly came alive! What a beautiful parade. We didn't leave without our parade "battle scars." My mother got hit in the face with a cup, Jessica's mom got hit with beads in the forehead, and Gracie, Jess and Curtis's daughter told her story about being bopped in the head with beads (see the photo below with her mom). Everyone was alright, though, and we left with plenty of parade loot
