Have you noticed that Mardi Gras is a lot about parades? Well it is and for those of you who haven't come during Mardi Gras yet you should. It is a lot of fun, kids love it, adults love it and as long as you stay off of Bourbon Street you will love it too. It's all about the parades not about the drinking and debauchery besides you can be drunken and debaucherus any old 
time but when can you see these kinds of parades...Never. Except New Orelans at Mardi Gras. Moving on, Saturday evening which turned into night Mom, Kristy, Chance and I went to see Endymion. It was parading back on it's pre-Katrina route so we got to see it in a different spot this time. Endymion is one of the super Krewes which means it is big, long and has a lot of throws. Also most of the super krewes have at least one celebrity rider. This year Endymion's Grand Marshal was Kevin Costner. 
The Doobie Brothers and The Go-Gos also were in the parade. Even though he doesn't care or know who Kevin Costner is he did get some beads from him. He looked right at us and then tossed them down to us gently so as not to hit Chance. Now we have a green strand of beads that looks like all the others but were thrown by Kevin Costner. This parade went longer than we thought so we got home a little late for Chance but he was a real trouper. There was no way to get away from the beads though because when we would go back to the chair to sit with him the guys on the top layer of the float would 
still throw beads right to us. They just can't resist Chance's cuteness. We ended up with a bunch of stuffed animals and beads once again. Now we do have a full picture of Kevin Costner (check New Pictures Link) but the third picture here is actually better than that one which is hard to tell who he is, In this one even though he is missing the top of his head it still looks like him, weird.
