Street party revelers dancing to a zydeco band.
Mardi Gras trinket hawker.
Oooohh, scary pirate Krewe.
Horse-drawn buggy ride, anyone?
Beads lined up and awaiting the parade.
Don't know which Krewe they're on, but we liked their matching hats and jackets. I've heard Lake Charles has 50-some krewes.
We don't know this man, but Eric thought he looked like Teddy Roosevelt in Mardi Gras regalia.
Eric and Andrew bungee-racing in the "teenzone."If any of my northern friends want to experience Mardi Gras some year, no need to go to New Orleans. Just come visit me here in Lake Charles.

It is just GREAT to see a picture of both your boys racing in the teen zone. Thank God for Eric's recovery.
I am also amazed at the photo of all the beads. Do they throw those at parade watchers as the Krewes pass by?
Yes, folks on floats toss "throws" to the spectators,like beads,candy, toys such as mini-footballs, stuffed animals, etc., but mostly beads and candy.
