Mardi Gras Fun

Mardi Gras season is in full swing in Cajun country and parades are rolling and there are parties galore, with lots of fun and great food everywhere you go. Here are a few pics from the Krewe de Cheins parade, (aka the doggie parade) that rolled through downtown Lafayette on Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day.
