We walked up Dauphin Street to Cathedral Square. Natalie decided she was way to tired to play in the water and took a nap in her stroller. Lauren didn't pass up an opportunity to run around and get wet.

Later that evening, we met Mimi and PopPop at Beinville Square for more parades. In this picture, Lauren just learned why we don't put our mouths on the barricades (yes, oooh gross!) - she fell and hurt her mouth.

We all had a great time and Ryan and I enjoyed sharing our family Mardi Gras traditions with the Brennan's. We look forward to making this an annual tradition for our family and hopefully our friends too!
