This little fella was and inch above my pillow one night, now he is a little cutie but I didn't like the idea of sleeping with him by my head so ...

Hey loyal blog readers,

This is an entry which doesn't need much writing you'll be glad to know. It's mainly about the pictures! It was a lovely day in Louisiana so we decided to take the kids to the zoo ( we really wanted to go, but taking the kids was our cover ).

All in all it was a great day out! It was hot and the kids (myself and Gary) loved it! Enjoy the pictures. Another entry will follow this one :)

... Indians in the area. I admire their dedication to a plan but now they missed out on all that casino money.

Speaking of casinos, Biloxi and Gulfport are on the way along US 90 W and I decided to stop, not to gamble but to witness the shrimp boats already coming in with the morning catches. Eager locals and chefs line up to inspect product and negotiate price.

So yet another week in Denham Springs. This week was set up for an advanced camp so I was looking forward to working with kids that already knew the basics.

Only me Aled and Gail stayed on for the camp as the number of kids weren't as much as the first week. The camp itself went very well apart from the weather. The monday and tuesday were cancelled due to huge thunderstorms but we managed to make up the hours in the ...

... heard the dooor open but thought nothing of it because Gary did it every morning and shouted every time "Morning Honey" Gary is a morning person I am not! Next thing after the door opened was freezing water in my face which wasn't to bad but then "Sniper" Chip ripped my bed sheets off and there I was in white bundies getting soacked by freezing cold water, I could barely catch my breath. Gary said he tried to stop them but there he was filming it behind them. So ...

... 7 hour drive to Austin Texas. It was a monster drive but we got there in time for our 4pm meeting. I had driven 249 miles on the same motorway which was a ball ache lol! We were told that the evening was ours to do what we liked with so I chilled by the pool till 7pm with some beers and then planned my attack on 6th Street (look it up on google, mental place).

July 4th night in Austin Texas is next on the blog!

... understand that, so to explain, this means a billboard that promotes Science and Reason in an otherwise unreasonable Bible Belt. Baton Rouge it appears, is particuarly religious.

Tomorrow I am off to Texas and first stop is Houston. I will stay there for 3 nights and have plenty on the agenda to do there.

Until then,

I was going to change our reservation...but Katie had left her purse at this hotel when we stayed here at the beginning of the trip. I just thought it would be easier. The room was still clean...a room away from that back exit, but the desk was broken. They had been holding Katie's purse since we called from Disney. All of the money was miraculously still in there.

We ate dinner at a place ...

... of the white ballroom where men came to court some of the daughters. The couple had eleven children and needed the 65 room home to take care of such a large brood. There was a lot of entertaining and the ladies entered the home on the left staircase and the men the right staircase so they men could not see the women's petticoats. It was only proper you know. You can stay here at the home as there are 15 rooms ...

... e avec un sceau de morceaux de poulets et est entrée dans l'enclos pour attirer les alligators. Il fallait la voir attirer les alligators avec son poulet et les tenir à distance raisonnable avec un bâton d'environ 6 pieds ; on a passé plus d'une demi-heure à prendre des photos et poser des questions. La visite a finalement été très intéressante et instructive. Le vendredi 4 avril, on s'est dirigé vers la ville de Natchez. C'est une petite ville, que nous avons visité le samedi ...
