When Mummy told us that it
was Fat Tuesday, we were VERY excited.
We thought that meant two
breakfasts and two lunches.
We were wrong. It turns out
that Fat Tuesday means that we got haircuts...


Fat Tuesday means that, after
our haircuts, we get to take a bus ride out to Snowmass...

(we love riding the bus!)
Fat Tuesday means a big Mardi
Gras parade in Snowmass,
with Pirates (arrrgggg!) and
a marching band...


Fat Tuesday means getting to
meet a giant blue moose, and having a cookie in each hand...


Fat Tuesday means that
people in the parade throw beads to spectators...

(and Fat Tuesday means more
cookies for little boys!)
Fat Tuesday means a comfy
ride with Georgia for a tired boy back to the bus...

and finally Fat Tuesday means
a bus ride home with our balloons and our cookie faces.
Even though he was Very
Tired, on the bus ride home Alex counted all of the buses we
passed as they headed out of
town for evening trips down valley...

That's what Fat Tuesday
means. HOORAY FOR FAT TUESDAY!
