flying moon-pie parade (highland 2011)
because we just can't get enough... we powered through it.
got up and went to the Oyster Bar for lunch. that baby loves spicy salsa!
after a few unfortunate events; once in new orleans and once in ocean city md, kat had concluded that she is allergic to oysters. slowly but surely she has gained confidence and she is back on top of 'em. they were delicious!
made a claim to a small space in debbie's yard and waited for the final parade to roll past us.
and here comes scot, still dragging his cooler. the miles those wheels have traveled...
Debbie served up the king cake.
it was lulu that had rescued J-Rock from the street the night before.
here comes the Highland Parade!
our friend matthew tossed us a few beads!
not everything thrown off the floats is complete crap. the kids do enjoy catching beads but they do have other things, especially for the highland parade. M caught this hand painted artwork and an egg that had a chick and some $.
he'd figured it out this parade biz and got excited, a parade veteran.
the highland parade is all about being different. one float tossed ramen noodles and another was throwing Tony Chachere's creole seasoning
many moon-pies were being thrown and caught.
plush prizes too...
kat even managed to catch a hot-dog from the krewe of bbq float.
when he got this plush puppy.... it was worth all the effort. he just wanted to stand there and hug it.
after the last float cruised past, we jumped in the car and I drove us the six hours home.
