Mardi Gras!!!

 Now, I never knew how important Mardi Gras was until I came down here.  There are all different types of King Cakes, Masks, parades, and beads…tons and tons of beads.  It is such an exciting experience that everyone should enjoy, even the little ones!

This past weekend, West Campus Apartments held their first annual Krewe of Mardi Gras Program.  Parents from the Ed Gay and Nicholson apartments brought their children out on Saturday to do fun festivities to bring in the holiday.

Different types of King Cakes were created. Many different designs and sprinkles made the children very excited to add their own decoration!

 

 It also made them pretty hungry as well!

Coloring and making masks were also a part of the activities the children did and they were able to add many colors, feathers, and other items to really show off their Mardi Gras spirit!

Lastly, everyone went outside and beads were lightly thrown for the children to really experience the excitement of Mardi Gras, and they were definitely excited!

These children felt on top of the world when they were getting those beads.  It made me feel as if I were a little kid again, enjoying the simple things in life!
