Last Thursday, our compound had it's annual Mardi Gras parade and dinner. Around here the expatriates have affectionately dubbed it as "Saudi Gras!" In years past, we have not participated in the parade, but this year our friends Daniel, Amber, and Jack invited Savannah to ride in the Mardi Gras wagon with Jack. Here's a few pictures of when they picked us up.
We then headed to our compound market while all the participants gathered together for the parade. We took the opportunity to snap a few pictures of our close friends who were also there early.

Off we went, and the parade began! Savannah was fascinated by all the costumes and bead/candy throwing. It was quite fun!

| Look what I've got! |
After the parade ended (it lasted about five minutes), we all headed to the compound recreational center and enjoyed a delicious potluck "Cajun" dinner! It was a fantastic time of enjoying each other's company and some great food. We are blessed to have a great community of friends and activities here on Murjan. :)
