This weekend we took a quick trip down to Fairhope so we could go to our favorite Mardi Gras Parade, Maids of Jubilee. We checked Elle out of school a little early and made the drive down. We pulled into town right as Gramma, PopPop, Sandy and Paul were getting downtown. So we went straight to Bone and Barrel to eat a quick dinner. After dinner we went to claim a spot so we could watch the parade. We met up with our friends the Smitherman's and their extended family so we could all stand together. We actually introduced the Sarah and Jeremy to the parade a few years ago and they have been coming ever since! It is so family friendly. We have missed the last couple of years with Walker being so small but were happy to be back this year! The floats are so pretty and the kids caught so much good stuff! They aren't just throwing beads at this one! We always come home with tons of toys, Moon Pies and other things!
Abigail and Anna Claire made signs to hold up in the car on the way down and gave Elle one to hold which was really funny! Elle loved it! This was Walker's first time to go to the parade that he wasn't a tiny baby. We knew he would love it! But as usual for his little personality he was a little quiet the first pass the parade took although as each float passed and he realized he was getting toys thrown at him he got more and more excited and by the second pass he was totally game! Love it so much and since we got home and he's played with all his stuff he says "who threwed this to me?" He has talked about it non stop too! It was a really fun night and I am so glad that Walker is old enough now so we can make the memories year after year!

Saturday morning Gramma sent Kenny and I on our merry way for a breakfast date and some shopping. The kids played at home and then Aunt Sandy came over and they all went to see the new Peter Rabbit movie. Kenny and I had a sushi lunch at our favorite place ever before coming home to take a two hour nap until the kids got home. It was heaven.
