in the middle of an early mardi gras.....

we were lucky enough to be back in florida this past weekend

and

even luckier to be able to sit in the sun and listen to an amazing concert

{and of course people watch}

~

there were adorable little girls with freshly painted faces

and

dogs with beads

there were costumes

and

poorly applied sunscreen

there was my hubby laughing with his lawn neighbor

and

a guy as busy as i was taking photos

there was little girl who danced right in front of us

and

this little sweetheart

who will grow up and work at disney world someday

there was this sweet grandma all dressed up

dancing the day away

and

another tiny dancer in pink who really knew how to swing it

there was this little boy who just simply made me laugh

now you know at mardi gras you have to dance

{well there are a few other things you can do}

in order to get some beads

~

so dancing i did

this lady didn't understand the rules

and

thought she could just tackle me in order to have a sparkly necklace

everyone knows it's rude to leave the dance floor once you have your beads

so i just kept moving

and

stole this man away from his wife

{not really. it just looks that way in the photo}

~

to say it was a great afternoon

in seaside

would be an understatement

~

so i'll just say

"when do we get to go back"
