How do you celebrate Mardi Gras?
 
Do you attend the parades? I usually just make it to one of the 2 big ones.
My daughter lives on the parade route so it makes for comfortable conditions.
A warm place to wait for the parade and lots of food and beverage! I also get a ton of beads which makes it fun!:D

I go fishing out of town and enjoy the fact many others are at the parade and parties. :laugh::laugh: Lucky me !!

I will be going to New Orleans for the weekend in 2 weeks. It's a certain weekend I go and there will be 4 parades that weekend. I have already had my special tee-shirt made to wear so I'll get lots of beads, I usually average 2 50lb onion sacks full plus some. I usually donate some of the beads to the school so the kids in the pre-k and kindergarten has some to throw to the other kids when they have their parade around the school. My Tee-says:
Do you like the S in
LOUISIANA
Saints
Sex
Seafood
Throw me something Mista
And it is decorated with crawfish, alligators, Mardi gras maks, beads.:laugh:

Having been born and raised in Texas, and now too old for binge drinking, it's a non-event for me. But I do like those King Cakes!

Well , now that you reminded me....I scrounged around and found this pic I think is you. I heard when at the parade you like to sit back, drink the wine, and just let the beads fall where they may!!!!
