One fun thing about New Orleans is there always a reason for a parade. Every March the reason is the St. Patty's Day parade rolling under the beautiful old oak tree lined Uptown streets!
Ella with Daddy smiling and showing the collection of flowers she got from the marching krewes. She made them into a boquet for her hair.
Mommy and her girls enjoying the sunshine and the parade and comparing notes on what they had caught so far.
Anxiously waiting for the next float to come.
Ella happily playing with a giant stuffed teddy bear she caught from one of the floats.
And Katie with one of the prized catches of the St. Patrick's Day parade...a cabbage! Cabbages are a Saint Patrick's day tradition, not unlike Zulu coconuts during Mardi Gras. Everybody wants to catch one. You have to be on your toes because they come hummin' at you from up high on the floats. Potatoes on occasion too. We got three or four nice cabbages this year along with Blarney stones, green beads, and clover bracelets. Mommy sauteed the cabbages for dinner one night! Yummy!
