Endymion

Well, I will start by saying, it was not the greatest of Mardi Gras's, thanks to the norovirus-esque virus we all got. I got sick on the plane on Friday, Adam and my mom got it Saturday night, my dad got it Sunday and Sarah had it Monday. It was super awesome. But between all the illness, we still managed to have a little fun.

Saturday Adam and I left the boys home with grandma and grandpa and hit the Endymion parade route. Donnie had his motor home (aka MoHo) on the route, and it was glorious, particularly during the torrential downpour an hour before the parade started to roll. We stayed nice and comfy with the (electric) fireplace, hot chocolate and satellite tv. I still wasn't feeling well, so without the convenience and comfort of the MoHo, I probably wouldn't have been able to parade.

Despite the rain, Endyimon still rolled! And a few of the bands were super troopers and marched! The rain ended about 30 or 45 minutes into the parade, so it wasn't too bad.

We got some crazy good throws! Adam caught a boa, some giant Saints beads, glow sticks, cups, roses and footballs.
