This is Gretna Mardi Gras. It's a more Coon Ass version of the Uptown, but still fun! It's a little less crowded, so we like that. Plus, my best friend, Frankie, lives a few blocks from the parade so we got to park there and walk. The kids BOTH really loved Mardi Gras this year. Both of them really got into it and it was sooo much fun to watch them enjoy the experience. It's sad that this might be our last year in New Orleans!
