Last weekend, we made a trip over to Mandeville to enjoy a Mardi Gras parade. The timing also worked out that we got to celebrate Mia's second birthday.
The weather was great so we spent a lot of time outside.

The big sandbox at the park is fun.
A picnic before the Eve parade.
Watching flags and marching bands.
From the first floats, we caught a few beads and big teddy bear.
By the end, Rachel had amassed quite a haul. Here she is with all of her bead, as well as her headband and ring. Not pictured are the 5 new stuffed animals and various other stuff we caught.
Owen liked the headband too.
On Saturday, we headed to Hattiesburg for Mia's birthday party. She welcomed us all graciously when we arrived.
Owen and Mia were a little uncertain about the party hats at first, but then decided they liked them. All of the kids loved the Curious George theme.
Rachel helped inspect the jeep when it was not running...turns out the battery was charging.
They had it up and running in no time.
Owen enjoyed riding while Mia drove.
Yummy birthday cake
Rachel wanted to stay close to Mia (and the cake)
Mmmmm...delicious
Cake for everyone
Rachel finally got a turn to drive :)
Present time!
Rachel showing Mia how to dance with the flags. They had so much fun playing at Mia's house they did not want to leave.
Before we drove back on Sunday, we had to make another visit to the playground. The kids love it!
Owen did not mind being covered in sand.
Sand is the best!
Thanks so much for all your work. I love seeing the pictures.
