Mardi Gras 2015

What a fun weekend!!  I really was beginning to think I had lost my mind bringing Crawford and Jane Clare to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but it turned out to be a blast!!  Crawford is just like his momma and loves to catch some beads!  And boy did he catch.  Tinsley said she only dreamed of catching all of the stuffed animals and swords that he caught this weekend.  Both kids were amazing despite late nights and short or no naps.

Friday night was pretty low key with dinner at Tommys and a few floats from Hermes on our walk back to the hotel.  Saturday morning we got up and headed back to the Windsor Court from Tins'.  We hung around the hotel and then watched Iris and Tucks, followed by Endymion.  It was wonderful that all of the parades came right in front of the hotel except Endymion.  The crew including Crawford, Daddy, Nanu, Poppie, Tin Tin, Ms. Aunt Jean, Uncle Phil and Carter walked over to St. Charles and caught tons and tons of beads.  Jane Clare and mom went up to the room for her to get some rest!  Tin Tin and Crawford were a hit as they came back with so many fun beads and toys!  Our night ended a bit differently than expected... Dave failed to let Tinsley know that he was hit by a car while riding his bike TWELVE hours earlier!!  Thank goodness he was still alive, a hurt shoulder and possible broken arm, but still alive!  I commend him for not wanting to ruin everyone's fun, but good Lord!














Sunday, we did a lot of fabulous eating!  Brunch at Muriels and dinner at Luke!  Dinner was especially  delicious!  In between brunch and dinner we caught more beads at Okeneos and Thoth!  Crawford was pretty pooped and getting pretty whiny, but luckily took a power nap on my lap during Thoth...slept straight through the bands and the screaming people!  Everyone was pretty tired after dinner but we waited around for Bacchus and caught some beads, but Crawford had had enough...fell asleep on Tin Tin this time.  So, we got the car and headed back to Tin Tin and Uncle Dave's for some rest!


I loved Mardi Gras as a kid and am so glad Crawford did too!  Jane Clare liked the people watching and dancing to the bands!  Mardi Gras 2015 is a wrap!  I think we might all be recuperating for a while after so much fun and so many late nights!
