They got here Friday morning-ish and we played outside, then Mica went back to Ashley's house with the kids she is nannying for the summer. While she was gone we watched a movie, hung out, sewed, made tie-dye t-shirts (for cheesy family reunion shirts), and made dinner. For dinner we had BBQ pork chops, pasta salad, and garlic bread; with devils food cake rolo cookies for dessert. Then Saturday...we headed out in our awesome tie-dye!!
We went to Gonzales, Louisiana to the Cajun Village, Outlet Malls, and Cabellas. The Cajun Village was fun....a little less fun and exciting in the pouring rain, but we had a good time. And...we saw us a gator!. We then, left to hit up some good sales at the Tanger Outlet Malls...and to eat at Sonic :)
{Poor Keaton on the way to the cajun village took a nap and woke up screaming!! We couldn't get him to calm down...we still don't know what was wrong. He is such a sweet baby and we can usually console him and make him happy quickly. This was a nightmare! We fought with him til bedtime that night!}
We all found great deals and great finds there :) Then, we went off to Cabellas.
This was my first experience at Cabellas. It is like a Bass Pro type shop on steroids! This is the Mall for hunters, fishers, campers, etc.! It was amazing! (Now I know why little 4 year old MaKayla Loader loves it so much!)......let me also say that our other plan was to do the whole zoo and aquarium new orleans thing, but with the rain we chose this plan....that didn't stop us from seeing a zoo and aquarium though...who knew Cabellas had one. We went in their aquarium and saw catfish as tall as Mica! We saw snapping turtles, other types of catfish, etc. Keaton loved it!! Then, we went to Cabella's "zoo" we saw tons of taxidermy animals....goats, bears, polar bears, mountain lions, mountain goats, prairie dogs, beavers, nutria, gators, deer, elk, moose, etc!! WOW!!! Keaton, Lee Lee, and I did all this while the boys did their thing. It was great! And calmed Keaton down for a little while.
Then, we went back home for dinner. We had yummy bread mom brought down, along with alfredo for Amanda and Mica, and seafood pasta for me, mom (Lee Lee), dad (Pops), and Jason. Yum!
Then, Sunday, Jason and I spoke. It went well and church was good. Everyone loved that our family was there and hopes they visit again soon...so do I.
We came home, took a family pic, ate yummy chicken spaghetti mom made, and then headed out to the French Market in downtown Nola. It was nice! We got some good sight seeing in, saw the cathedral, spiderman, and street dancers! We got to watch a street dancer show...they were pretty legit! And they were like comedians :) We saw a lady on stilts, a dude with a parrot, a live statue civil war-ish dude, spiderman (keaton got a pic with him :) )................
, how to make bengiets, and lots of colorful people. It was good. Then, we came back home and mom, dad, and Amanda had to leave. :( I miss them already!
THEN.... Mica, Jason, Aly and Michael Davis, and I watched the season finale of the Bachelorette!! And Jeff "won"!!! YAY!!! He is so great and I am so happy for them! This was my first Bachelorette season...and I think I'm hooked! haha
