Austin and Kevin visit the Alligator Farm











While I was off enjoying time with Lauren at the petting zoo, Kevin and Austin headed over to the Alligator Farm. Austin got to watch them feed the gators, hold a gator, and even got to help tape a gators mouth!

Enjoying time at the Park




Visiting Lil's Country Critters
















Today we joined my friends, Beth and Robin, and their daughters, Kate and Haley, for a "girls day" at Lil's Country Critters. The girls enjoyed feeding and petting the animals, but most of all the playground and slide!

Mommy and Austin Day
















Today Austin and I spent the day down in New Orleans. I let him plan what we were going to do. We started the day at the IMAX theater to see the movie, "Bugs". When that was over we headed to the Children's Museum where Austin enjoyed shopping in the grocery store, serving food in the diner, and exploring all the other exhibits. Before heading back across the lake, we met Dad for a late lunch at Applebees. We had a great day!

Let it Sneaux !!!











Well, Austin got his wish to see snow this winter. On Thursday morning we were greeted with the most beautiful snowfall right here in Southern Louisiana! We couldn't believe it! After bundling up the kids we headed outside with cameras in hand to enjoy the snow. Austin had a great time throwing snowballs and helping Kevin and the neighbors build a snowman. Lauren wasn't crazy about the snow or the cold!
