Harrison went to his first Mardi Gras parade on Friday night. Fairhope has several Mardi Gras parades. We attended the Maids of Jubilee parade - those ladies sure know how to have a good time!
My parent's house is just a few blocks from the parade route so we bundled Harrison up and loaded him up in the stroller. After a short walk, we found a family friendly spot to watch the parade.
Earlier in the day we walked around town and my dad bought Harrison a light toy at the toy store. This was perfect entertainment as we waited for the parade to arrive.
I wasn't sure what Harrison would think about the parade. I sort of expected him to cry when he heard the loud sirens and bands. I never expected him to be so excited. He LOVED everything about Mardi Gras. He kicked his feet and jumped up and down as the bands marched by and he really loved all the bright lights on the floats.
I have been to a lot of parades but this was the most fun I have ever had at a parade! It was so much fun seeing the excitement in my little boy's eyes.
What a wonderful first Mardi Gras!
