Mardi Gras

Roadtrip!!

This past weekend we took a roadtrip to New Orleans, we did tons of fun things and met up with our BFF's The Bybees, who were also down visiting family. Our first adveture was the aquarium which the girls loved, its right by the water and there are losts of things to see, Regan wouldn't stop yelling "WOW". Next we took a Swamp Tour, which was the highlight of the trip, it was on the this big boat guided through the bayou. Our guide was super funny and I could hardly understand anything he was saying . He was a local and lived where the tour launched and loved alligator, he rasies them himself and then when they get old enough he releases them into the wild. He had one on the boat and let everyone hold it, Lynlee first and then Regan, Billy got his turn but I didn't even want it by me, I know I'm a chicken. We saw lots of wild alligators, turtles, and birds too. The next day we drove up to Madsionville, a hour north of the city, to met Bryce & Becky. There we went to a Mradi Gras Boat Parade. I never in my life thought it would be fun to stand around trying to get bead necklaces but we had a blast and got tons of necklaces. It was a awesome family trip and New Orleans is a beautiful city with lots of history and fun things to do.

They showed a lot of skin to get this many beads!!
