But that's ok, planning for Carnival 2011 has begun ;-)
To those who have never experienced it, words can never do it justice. It is an energy. A cultural phenomenon. A feeling and passion.
My 16 mth old has only to hear the music to start jumping and dancing... that one will play mas'. (What's the saying? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.....)
I missed out on a lot this year, staying home with my babies. One misses a lot with a 16 month old. But that's ok.
2011 will soon be here, and with it more music, more passion and more energy.
I did make it to one party this year - an all-inclusive (one cover price takes care of everything) Breakfast Party.
There were local fruits and breakfast foods, local coffee, and of course enough alcohol to satisfy the most selective of party-goers!
Tents and tents of this...
Next year, I need to get me one of these... (the glass not the holder... already got me one o those!)
Being up close to the stage was cool...
Being inside someone's front yard next to the stage instead of in the middle of this... even better...
The heat started to come up by mid-morning, and it was time for the bubbles and misters.
But a little time for chocolate-dipped strawberries and marshmallows (Valentine's Day after all)...
...before heading off to the after-party at the pool to cool off.
All in all not a bad way to spend a Valentine's Day/Carnival Sunday...
Just you wait Carnival 2011 - I'm already getting ready for you!
