Day 10: Childhood Memory

The childhood memory I chose to take a picture of today is Mardi Gras beads. Growing up in Mobile, AL, Mardi Gras was a huge part of my childhood. My family went to many parades each year and on Mardi Gras Day, we would spend the entire day at my grandfather's pawn shop located directly on the parade route. All of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends would be there along with my mom, dad, siblings, and grandparents. It was definitely something to look forward to every year!
