New Orleans

Saturday we were all dying to go to New Orleans so we made the 1 1/2 hour drive and toured the city! This was also one of my FAVORITE days! New Orleans was everything I thought it would be: fun, a slew of different people, streets filled with performers, artist & musicians, neat buildings, great sites & amazing food! Oh we had what are called beignets (pronounced ben-yays).. good night I fell in love with them. They're French donuts and they are made of two of my most favorite things: bread & powdered sugar! Heaven! We walked around for hours, went to the french quarters, through the amazing cathedral, walked along Bourbon St. & went through the red light district (don't worry we went during the day) and walked on the levy by the Mississippi river again and took pictures by the big bridge!!!! It was so new and exciting. We ended our day by eating at the "Hard Rock Cafe" and it definitely didn't disappoint:)

{ YES, a bird pooped on me while eating my yummy biegnet... totally ruined the moment}

......still they were delicious

Baton Rough ZOO

What good would a trip be without the Zoo?! jk We all went to the Baton Rouge Zoo. It was a chilly but fun day. Mason was mesmorized buy some of the animals. Good Day~

Girls Day/Wedding Day

Tuesday was Wedding Day for Smokey and Miss Becky's Son Kyle and his beautiful bride Delyn. They were over everyday with their three kids so we got to know them very well. Especially little Garrett. I fell in love with that 6 yr old boy. He wrote me the sweetest letter and asked me to marry him. ha ha. I wish I could have brought him home... well, maybe...he had quite the energy! :} Us girls spent the day with Delyn and her beautiful daughter Victoria going out to lunch & getting our nails done... while the men were home cooking "Cochon de Lait" aka a freaking PIG. Not bacon or pork chops. An ENTIRE pig on a stick, over the fire, apple and all!!! WOW! That was a first. They told me "Miss Lacey, we don't believe in no cake and punch down here, we gonna eat us some hog" ... and we did. Guess what...little piggy was quite good:)It was such a cool new experience:) i just wish I hadn't walked into the kitchen when the boys were 'preparing' it. Almost lost my breakfast.

Random picture.. but this is what I was doing while they were roasting the piggy
