I found it really easy to post on my blog from the hotel room as the boys lay quietly, but as soon as I got home, my free time disappeared! Haha Anyway, one night we rented a paddle boat to ride on the lake at the park. Matt enjoyed racing the ducks, and pulling broken fishing line from the tree trying to make a fishing pole....or something! Then, on our last day, I took the boys back to the park and we enjoyed exploring some more. It really was a big place. We had so much fun with the time we had, and while others might enjoy Halloween week in NOLA, we didn't like the various costumes or the sounds coming from the Voodoo Festival coming from next door! At one point when I was complaining (not as quietly as I thought I was) Paul told me to do like he does, and pretend you can't hear it! LoL That was really cute.
Matt looking for turtles....guess he wanted to make turtle gumbo! ;)
I don't know what kind of ducks these were, but the boys got a kick out of them! They looked like they ran on the water.
Playing around with the monster hook he found.
Notice the smirk on Matt's face...he directed our boat for the water fountain, trying to get me wet!
Paul found this fish stringer and spent the entire time trying to catch anything from fish, to turtles, to geese with it.
This was hilarious...Paul made a loop with his stringer, and was trying to lure that goose to it with bread.
This tree was huge! I just had to show a size comparison by letting Micah climb up it.
This looked so sweet! They were really disappointed to learn that the train didn't operate on the weekdays.
Another really cute bridge
Our boys looked like the hillbillies that they are, and we got a lot of funny looks. I rolled their pants legs up and tied their shoes to their belt loops. One guy walking by took one look and said, "Awesome!" haha
