Mardi Gras

It was so much fun to finally be in mobile for Mardi Gras!

We had fun going to a few parades, checking out all of the floats for Philips dads organization KOR (Knights of Revelry) and going to a ball!

Philip, His Dad (Jimmy-josephs name for him) and Joseph

Standing at Jimmy's spot on the float

Joseph and Dad on the "New Dad" Float

The Farmer float

The theme of their parade this year was "Dirty Jobs" because the show Dirty Jobs on Discovery came to KOR in mobile and learned about Mobile Mardi Gras.  On the show the KOR's showed him how to fill a cow's bladder with air and paint it silver (gross I know) ... You'll see later

Jules,  Joseph and I on the float

Sweet Joseph

The front float.  A man stand in the cup and bangs the cows
bladder during the parade... again you will see...

At the Parade...

There is the dude!! And there are the silver cow bladders

And there he goes...

The butcher float

Joseph was concerned... he just clung to us
during every parade... they are very loud

The coal miner

Oil Spill clean up

New dad float... philips dad is the furthest one from us on the bottom

And here we are actually right after the ball.  The KOR ball is and afternoon ball so women wear dress suits and hats and men wear suits.

It was a very fun time and I am looking forward to next year!
