Mardi Gras Celebrations

Mardi Gras was celebrated on Sat. with a parade down Harbor Walk.  It was fun because we could watch it right from our balcony and missed the crowds.  What a beautiful day for it!

 This little train ran all week-end giving children rides.

 Sitting on the balcony waiting for the parade to start. 

Small street band performs before the parade.

Person on stilts.

Some of the crowd.  Confetti floating around after being shot out.

Honor guard leads the way.

One of many floats.

And of course the Shriners were there.

Another float.  Most were pretty pathetic!

Stilt man comes back again.

My favorite - the belly dancers!  They had plenty of belly to shake!

"Old" ladies doing a step dance.  Dianne, you need to get a group to go to local parades!!
