Mardi Gras was a success this year. We kicked everything off with Venus. This year we were Biker Babes. We wore leather chaps and vests, and the Marshall's wore them as well. It was a fun theme. The weather was great for the parade as well!
Next up was Striper's Ball Thursday night. Don is still not riding, but we're hopeful he'll be riding in a couple of years. Meanwhile, he has to 'work' the ball. It kinda sucks because he's supposed to be monitoring the halls and can't be outside watching the parade. Oh well, pay the dues now, and play later!
Sunday was Joe Cain day and it was a blast. It was a little chilly that day, but nobody seemed to mind.
Don even got interviewed by Fox 10 News. Love the panties Jamie!
After all that, we needed a break! We headed down to the beach where we watched the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach parades. Matthew was more enthused about the trucks pulling the floats than the actual floats themselves! It was another great day!
We had plenty of food - Don cooked hot dogs and boiled a pot of shrimp. Everybody brought a ton of goodies to snack on. Matthew and Grant had what looks like a hot dog eating competition. Don't really see either one of them winning any time soon.
So glad summer is here!!! Bring on the sunshine!
As you can see.....we had no problem getting him to sleep in it!
