Mardi Gras in Lafayette

We went to Lafayette to visit Mom and Dad, and to celebrate Mardi Gras. We arrived with Caroline and Debbie really sick - but it didn't keep us from having a good time. We went to a parade, the kids went to the zoo, and we went to the Krewe of Triton Ball. Our guests were Laurie & Russ, Dionne & Mike, and Melinda & Thomas. Of course my parents and their friends were there also. We had a really nice time. Sunday we took the kids to Vermillionville (Old style Acadian Village) where there was a Courier de Mardi Gras where they got to "run" the old style Mardi Gras. By the time we got home - every one was feeling better. We really enjoyed our trip. Click on the picture to see the album.
