Field Trip, "The" Bus, & Deb...

We had such a fun field trip this past Friday!  We went to the Maritime Museum in Madisonville.  What a great time learning about the Tchefuncte River, Lake Ponchartrain, and Louisiana's first settlers.

 

The kids watched a short video, learned water safety, learned how to tie different knots, played vocabulary bingo and roamed throughout the museum.  WITH all that, I am sure if you asked them their favorite part, it would be the 10 minutes of free time they ran wild through an open field for a mini-recess.  They were in heaven!  Who knew 10 minutes in an open grassy field who be the HIGHLIGHT of their day? CHEAP entertainment I tell you!

Let me just tell you about "THE BUS" of all busses!  Mr. Jim, is one of Woodlake's bus drivers and WOW - It is DECKED OUT! - He is a huge, I mean huge LSU Fan.  The majority of Louisiana bleeds purple and gold.  They love their Tigers.  

Here is his bus - Even non-LSU fans would be impressed!

The top-front of his bus!

The top of his bus!  A replica of a football field.  So cool!

And on the way back from the Field Trip - Here's what went on...... 

This CRACKS me up!  All the kids knew the LSU Fight Song and were in heaven.  Thank you Mr. Jim for winding them up EVEN more...  

Now on to some much needed ADULT TIME....  Our dear friend Deb was in town for a medical conference and we took her to one of our favorite places in New Orleans, Irene's!  We love this restaurant.  So intimate and quaint.  

Our favorite - minus the onions - Good lord!!!

Miss you Deb!

Brad and I just love Deb!  She has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone....  SO SO glad that we were able to meet her for a night in NOLA.

Thanks again Deb for you and Brad wanting to go to Harrah's.  FABULOUS decision.....  :) - Ugh....

Have a great week everyone!  Brad's mom Debra flies in Friday and we are so excited to see her and show her the sights of LA....

Love~
