Louisiana Good Times

Please click on this LINK so you can really get a feel of our day :-)

Steve's brother, step-dad and mother came down to Louisiana to visit us while we are in:




We took them to see Vermilionville in Lafayette. It is a replica of a Acadian Village with live working crafters and musicians.

They got to see the beautiful bayous:


(That were covered in hyacinths)

We saw swamp (Spanish) moss growing in the trees:




And old Acadian cabins, pirogues (PEE-rows) and bateaus (boats):




Mr Fontenot (FONT-ee-NO) and his assistant showed them how to play the fiddle:






and he actually let them help him play the fiddle:




M thought it was very cool:




And played very close attention to his instructions:




We checked out the bayous:




Browsed around the grounds:




pR didn't want to let papa go!





We sat in the shade in front of the bayou (covered in hyacinths) and played sisterly games:




And visited with mommy:




All of the family had a great time sitting in the shade:




M read to granny Bon and papa Rod:




pR still wouldn't let papa go!




We finally found Gene, our veterinarian, who had retired and was playing the fiddle:




We went dancing at Mulatte's:






And pR even did some pole dancing!




Uncle Jeff danced:




And papa danced:




And we contemplated our tomorrow's...



...as we are counting down to another stepping stone in our journey...
