Louisiana Trip!

We got back last Thursday from a whirlwind trip to see my uncle down in Covington.  We had an absolute wonderful time, exhausting, but wonderful!!!

The kids didn't want to fish and I started fishing off of the dock.  After I had caught a few fish; then they were both VERY quick to get off the boat and come fish with me....HA!  They both caught fish and loved it.  I was pretty proud since fishing is one of my favorite things to do. 

We were on the boat (54 ft Cruiser) a lot, playing, eating, sleeping, cruising, etc.  The kids enjoyed it immensely!  I'm pretty sure that my uncle did too.  He had a lot of hugs from the kiddos and quite a few good belly laughs at their antics.  They were so good though and very proud of how they acted the entire time.  My uncle said that they could come down anytime they wanted because they were so well behaved.  Points for mommy and daddy!!!  :)

On our way down we went to eat at Randol's in Lafayette........LOVED IT!  My mom and I had been there many times before and we were telling the kiddos about how you can dance to Cajun music and that the food is awesome.  Zachary and Sadie really enjoyed all the dancing and they were really kicking up their heels!  HA!  Zachary really enjoyed his shrimp and Sadie enjoyed her catfish.  My mom and I enjoyed our food too!!!  YUMMY!!!!!!

On the way home, we stayed in Shreveport and found a hotel that had a pool.  They were so well-behaved (have I said that yet....LOL) and we wanted to reward them.  They loved the pool and once I got used to the cold water; I enjoyed it too!  The next day we got up and I wanted to show my mom our stompin' grounds during deer season.  So, we came through Marshall, Caddo Lake, Jefferson, etc.  We got to see our friends at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Refuge - we surprised them with a visit!!  Then we came on home and it was GREAT sleeping in my own bed that night.  :)

All in all, it was a great trip and can't wait to get down there again!!!!!!!!!!
