Mardi Gras in Acadiana

February 25th, 2006

Do kids still get off three days of school for Mardi Gras in South Louisiana? I remember I couldn’t believe that children in other states didn’t get this huge holiday.. I mean, as kids, you look forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras and Easter. They’re really missing out (though they probably get off 3 days earlier for summer ;)

My mom sent a really helpful link from the Time of Acadiana. Check it out of you are in the area: Mardi Gras 2006 in Acadiana - Get Busy.

Oh also, I made a Mardi Gras AIM Buddy Icon if any of you are in the celebratory mood.

Happy Mardi Gras, everyone!

    Noone here ever believes me when I tell them everything closes down for Mardi Gras.
