We had a busy day but at the same time it seemed like we just sat around for most of it. That is ok though because we got to spend the day together hanging out. We sat around all day waiting for the delivery of our dishwasher which finally came two and a half hours late. Right before the parade and so they had to park two blocks away and wheel the dishwasher to the house on a dolly. I am so glad they did though because now we will have a dishwasher up and running tomorrow. We bundled up and walked the two and a half blocks down the street to the parade route. Krewe De Vieux is what the locals call the local parade. It is the raunchiest and the smallest and the most fun. There are no motors, everything is pulled by man or beast and they have the best bands out of all the Mardi Gras parades. Chance had fun. His little face and hands were cold when we were done but he was watching the lights and all the people dressed up in funny costumes. He got a stuffed animal and some other cool stuff as seen in the loot photo. When we were walking back to the house Chance talked and talked, he was telling us all about his favorite parts of the parade. We even got back home in time to put Chance to sleep on time. He had some fun with Scott on the couch first though to wind down a little bit. He did not seem to mind the cold. We are really glad though that this parade was only a couple blocks from the house so we did not have to walk far. When we returned home we found that our heater was not working and we could smell gas outside the house so we called Entergy and they are here now trying to figure out what is going on, we will keep you posted on that too.
