Vacation sometimes leads me ....

Louisiana has amazing food!!!!  This is my Aunt Rachel and Uncle Tom.  They recently built a log cabin home and host the most amazing crawfish boils when we come to visit! 

This is the group of adults before the crawfish feast!  My cousin Josh, my cousin Erica's husband Wayne (crawfish provider), Erica, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Tom, Vandy, me, Jennifer and my cousin Heath.  Oh, and the little one in the corner is Nate, Erica and Wayne's youngest.  We have way too much fun when we are together!

And after we had this huge crawfish boil we went to my cousin Michael and Michelle's house for swimming and a cooking class for the girls.  Aunt Rachel, Aunt Jean, Erica, Hannah, Michelle, Lindsey, Jennifer, me, Missy and Aunt Rebecca Ann.  The men were totally impressed with the meal!!

And of course the main reason for our trip to Louisiana is so Vandy could spend Father's Day with his dad, Mr. Charles.  He is 82 years old and man, does he get around!!!!  It was a great visit with family!!!!

Louisiana there I was

I celebrated ANOTHER birthday on 17 June.  It was uneventful, although I tell people that my husband flew me into New Orleans for dinner, which he did, we ate at Popeye's.  lol 

See his Daddy isn't doing well, or so we thought, but at 82 ... WOW, I hope I am not doing as well at 82, because he is doing fantastic!  So then we went and saw my Mom's side of the family and it was just as great!  We spent one night with my Aunt Betty Jo and Uncle John which was very nice and then the rest of the time with Uncle Tom and Aunt Rachel which was great!!  My cousin Michael and his wife Michelle had us over for a swim and to cool off the pool they put HUGE ice blocks in it!  lol  I laughed and laughed!!!

I also did a cooking class for my Aunts and female cousins and it was soooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!  Man did we laugh a lot!

So, getting back to my birthday.  I got some really cool presents, homemade and store bought, but you know the best ones are thought out and tender to my heart.  My cousin Jenny, a home made plaque of sorts that I can't wait to hang in my cottage, another raft for my pool and just wishes on facebook.  It was a nice quiet birthday.   I may even post some pictures later this week. 

So anyway, it was a great weekend.  And thank you all for my wishes!
