Back to the REAL WORLD

Oh man we did not want to come back home. We had such a great time. We didn't get to see everyone we wanted to while we are in...but that is what happens when you only have a few days to see about 15 people. We drove down Thursday and stayed with David's aunt Linda and then headed to New Orleans on Friday morning.

The kids were excited to see their grandparents. Kaylee, David and I met up with Damon on Saturday to get stuff for her Birthday. Skyler stayed with his paw paw. Later Damon, David and I went to Izzi's Illegal Burrito. It was soooo good. They let you make your own and you can put whatever you want in it. Then Sunday we had Kaylee's Birthday party. Most everyone showed up. The kids had a blast with the kids that were there. There were 5 other kids besides ours their. Alexis, Aubrey, Sarah, Sophia and Stephen. The kids had bubbles to play with and side walk chalk. It was such a nice day!! Monday Grandma Mary took the kids to the park and then took them to the mall. David and I got to kind of relax and we had Fongs that day. It is a wonderful chinese resturant. Tuesday we were suppose to go to the zoo, but we thought we were going to get rained out. So we went to the riverwalk and then headed home. We were in Paw Paw's truck and it had a blow out. It was so scary. Wednesday the kids and David and I went several places. On Thursday we went up to Baton Rouge and stopped at a few outlets while we were there and stopped by LaPlace to see Roz, Ally and Charles on the way home. On Friday we went to the zoo with paw paw and Damon. Friday night we got some already boiled crawfish. They were soooooo good. Aunt Stella came by as well. The kids got in the hot tub and had a ton of fun. Paw paw watched the kids that night while we went with Damon to see Fast and Furious. It was good...but I still like the first one the best. Then Satuday it was time to pack up and start heading home. We stopped by the Strawberry Festival and I really wished we would of had another day down there or was going in this week...so we could of enjoyed it more. They had so much stuff there and a ton of good New Orleans food. I so miss the food down and there.

I do have to admit it gets harder and harder to leave everytime we go in. I wish we could stay down there for 2-3 weeks at a time. That would be the best. We will probably be moving back in a few years. Right now we need to get some bills payed off before we make that venture. I love my family here...but do really miss it down there as well. But we are back to reality and it is good to be home...but I still miss it bad!!
