Today, Blake, Carson and I braved the weather in hopes that it would not "rain on our parade" and headed to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Baton Rouge. One of Blake's work buddies lives just a couple blocks from the parade route, so we went by there first for a visit and then headed down to the parade.
We got a perfect spot, right at the beginning of the parade and right behind the barricades so no one could get in front of Carson. Blake ended up holding Carson the entire time though, so he could get him some "good stuff". Carson raked up on stuffed animals, toys and beads. We had no clue how much stuff we would get and just brought one little tote bag. At the end of the parade, we had to go through everything and pick what we wanted to keep, because there was no way we could carry it all back to the car. We ended up leaving behind about 5 stuffed animals (we do not need anymore stuffed animals in this house!) and a huge pile of beads. Don't worry, the animals were quickly picked up by some passerbyers.
We had an awesome time and got back to the car just as it started to rain...perfect timing!
Before the parade, Carson got to drive the Fire Truck
