There is nothing like living in a small town and enjoying it's crazy and often random traditions. The neighborhood we live in here in Rockport is called Lamar. So it's only fitting that our neighborhood would have a LAMARdi Gras parade in honor of Mardi Gras. This was our first time to go to the parade, but I tell you that it will not be our last! Gage and his good friend, Merritt, had a blast watching all the "floats" and catching an insane amount of beads! These are just a few of our beads that we kept. Most of Gage's went to Merritt because Shane wasn't too excited about the idea of his son parading around wearing beads (haha).
Merritt LOVED the beads! She should have been the parade queen because I am pretty sure that she got the MOST attention there. How can you not think this little girl is the cutest thing ever?! She was a great sport the whole way through until it was an hour past nap-time and I was forcing a picture on her. She had reached her limit.....but I still snapped a pic. :)
If you are ever in Rockport on the Saturday before Mardi Gras, you should definitely check out the LAMARdi Gras parade. If not for the beads and candy, for the sheer entertainment of small town life. -Cyndea
