Krewe of Gemini

Saturday night was the Krewe of Gemini's turn to roll through the Port City.  We were at the Strack house--who we know through Kid's Campus and Kevin's job.  Their house was three houses down from the very end of the parade route.  They had a huge bounce house that was half bounce and half slide--Liv's version of heaven.  Before we had even seen our hosts Liv made friends and ran off hand in hand to bounce the day away.  We ate, drank, and were merry.  Lots of really nice people were there, and Josie loved the backyard.  They have a pond with fish, dogs, a cat, a great tree swing, and lots of slides--Josie's version of heaven.  By the time the parade creeped down to us it was super cold, so we bundled up and we to catch beads that we have no use for, ever in life.  It was really cold and the girls were really tired, but there we stood for hours while the floats rolled by.  Josie wasn't very impressed with beads flying at her face or the noise.  Liv had a great time and in a rare move actually asked to go home and go to bed....and that was a good thing since we all needed to rest up for Sunday's parade...the Krewe of Highland.  See blog above for the skinny on that adventure...
