Those are a lot of beads there, Honey Boo Boo.

Seven-year-old reality star Alana Thompson joined her mother, June Shannon, and sisters Lauryn (aka Pumpkin), 13, and Jessica (aka Chubbs), 16, for an over-the-top Mardi Gras celebration, but before you start raising eyebrows, their party was a family-friendly version of the usual festivities that take place in New Orleans, held in Orlando. 

"We had a BLAST today!!!" Mama June wrote on Facebook after catching some beads at the parade.

And the TLC family weren't the only stars to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Kelly Clarkson posted a photo from the actual event on Bourbon Street, writing, "I'm the Grand Marshal of Mardi Gras!!! Most fun ever!!!!!," while other celebs  just took to Twitter to recognize the parade.

"Happy Mardi Gras!!!!!!!!!!," Ian Somerhalder tweeted, "Bon Mardi Gras au Monde! I miss my city today- I'm there in my mind, heart and spirit..."

So does that mean no flashing from Somerhalder? Darn.
