Even though I’m not sure what Fat Tuesday is, (I know it’s revolves around Mardi Gras and not around what the best fat burning supplements are) I hope you have a fun filled day!  I know us northerners don’t get to enjoy the parades like the southerners do (That’s one reason I enjoy being in Orange Beach this time of year) but you can still eat the fatter/richer foods with us down here!

Updating the post to say in an hour the Mardi Gras parade will be starting down here! If you are ever in the Orange Beach, AL area around Mardi Gras time, you could check out their parades. They are all family orientated as there are no women flashing things they shouldn’t be!  If you are really lucky you can attend the kids parade in Farehope!  All their kids get out of school in the afternoon and instead of riding on floats they walk down the street throwing beads to everyone.  That was the first ever Mardi Gras parade we took Kevin to when he was a baby and it was so cute putting the beads on him as he was only 3 months old.

Next year is going to be so boring for us as I highly doubt we will be down here for the parades as Kevin will then be in 1st grade and I really can’t see me taking him out of school for a week.    Of course if we get a snowy, cold winter I just might have to change my mind.
