| So what's new around here? Well Xander turned 9, and had a b-day party with some boys from his primary class. |
Summer is over! Noooooo. We had so much fun bowling and swimming every week, and cramming in as much fun as we could squeeze. Here are a few more things we did.
 |
| We visited GATOR RANCH in a nearby town. |
 |
| Xander had a memorable experience of getting peed on by an alligator when he was holding it. |
 |
| We made it to GULF ISLAND WATERPARK, a fun place around these parts. 2 weeks later we went out to Baton Rouge to visit the temple and another water park and amusement park: BLUE BAYOU/DIXIE LANDIN' It's pretty fun, because when we go we usually get a hotel and stay overnight while we stagger sessions, and make a vacation of it. |
 |
| We visited our old neighbors, the Loftins, in West Point MS. We've visited before and the kids can't get enough! What is more fun that riding horses, catching animals (chickens and dogs), shooting guns, swimming in a pool, hiking, and playing in the great outdoors for kids. We discovered a tick on Xander the last day, but I got it out with some tips from my friend, who has some experience ;) |
 |
| For Pioneer Day we made candles and scones with homemade butter & honey, and I happened to take pics, so I better share! I also threw a baby shower at my house with some others for a friend Courtnie. Had fun making paper fans for the 1st time. |
 |
Visited the zoo a couple times in new Orleans, went skating, went to the
Children's Museums here in town and up in Jackson, and ate lots and lots of
food :) These pictures were zoo, skating, museum, Tatonut our favorite donut
shop, a classic of Claire from when we tried the Italian buffet, and getting
"fed at The Shed," a great BBQ joint out here, one of our many many
times.
|
 |
| The boys stared school at the beginning of the month. I snuck in and took a pic of my big 1st grader. |
 |
Will got stung by a wasp the other day, and had an allergic reaction.
His arm doubled in size! We have an epi-pen in the fridge now, though they weren't too concerned since it stayed in the arm, and didn't effect anything else. |
