After having a wonderful breakfast at Strawn's celebrating our nephew's 9th birthday, we left Shreveport on July 9th and headed south to Alexandria. It just got hotter and stickier! Amazingly we have seen very little rain since being in Louisiana and us Phoenicians had hoped for more. We've only gotten out the boots and rain jackets once in all this time away from Arizona! I have a cute picture of Bubba sitting on the porch swing at JoJo's just enamored by the pouring rain.
Once in Alexandria we entertained ourselves with swimming mostly (as we did in Shreveport). We also ate a LOT in Alexandria and the baby weight seems to be going in the wrong direction. The kids got to go fishing with Popsie one evening and caught several fish (I will post those pictures when I get the camera in from the car). Believe it or not this was their first fishing experience and they did a great job and had a lot of fun (of course). My Dad and M'Lynn (or Nim as Pickle calls her) also took the kids to "Wild Safari" one of the days. Our two weeks in Louisiana went by very quickly and we still feel like we didn't have enough time to visit everyone we wanted to see.
Now we are in Dallas (Lewisville, actually) staying with one of my very best friends and her family. They live in a great neighborhood and we had a lot of fun at the pool tonight eating pizza and meeting many of their friends. JP has plans to go for a ride with one of his fraternity brothers in the am and then we are back at the pool for some fun and sun before spending the afternoon and evening with one of my sorority sisters (and Maid-of-Honor). This is what we intended this wild adventure to be about - connecting with old friends! On Friday we are off to Colorado to finish out of travels with a relaxing (we hope) week in the mountains.
Pictures to come . . . hopefully tomorrow!
Love,
C
