Mooks visit for Mardi Gras

January went by fast, in part, because I started grad school.  It's an online program...Northwestern State University of Louisiana...MS in Health & Human Performance (health promotion).  Basically increasing health education in the community...would like to one day bring my knowledge of yoga, nutrition, physical fitness, emotional fitness, etc. all together to emphasize caring for "the whole person".  So many physical problems are tied to our emotional and nutritional health.  So interesting!

For our first Mardi Gras, the Mook family took us up on our offer to come stay. So, we hit some parades and the zoo with the kids, did a girls night vampire tour (freaking me right out), and even did grown-up night for Lundi Gras. Thank you, babysitter.  Much fun was had all week...

Like old times...well...maybe even a little more fun.
Feather boas make everything more fun!

Bret Michaels was my very first concert...Poison/Tesla. Oh ya.

Steve playing football with the kids.  Waiting for parades to start is
trying for little ones. Who am I kidding...for big ones too.

Coast Guard Float.  Hee hee cute.
