Catch up post: New Orleans.

After Christmas (the 26-29) we were able to go to New Orleans with Gary's parents.  They flew out to spend time in LA and TX, and since we were only a short drive away, we decided to join them!  We had tons of fun, and the boys loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Monson.  We were able to go on a swamp tour, out to eat at many great restaurants, a Children's Museum, and just walk around the city.  It was a fun vacation.  (It might be our last for quite a while!)

The fam on the swamp boat.

Riding a 'gater!
Jake and Daddy with a baby one.

Jake was very calm.  (I didn't have the guts to hold it!)
Enjoying his new prize from Grandma.  (Those coloring books were a life savor at restaurants!)

The boys with Grandma and Grandpa Monson!
The boys were driving in a car at the children's museum.  They were both screaming at the top of their lungs for joy!

Seeing how strong they are!  (Jake looks so focused).
Building blocks with Mommy and Grandma.

Bubbles!
This was pretty neat.  They were able to stand inside a large bubble.

Cheese.
Austin's favorite part was the grocery store.  He would fill his cart up with about twenty of the same item!  He was so into it, and he did not want to leave.

Both boys loved it!
We went to a hot dog place for dinner.  The place was so cute, and it was nice enough to eat outside.

Touring around the city.  It was fun to see all of the pretty buildings and fun atmosphere.  We were able to hear many musicians, and we even got to hear a brass band.  (Linds, it reminded me of our Jazz History class at Utah State!  It was a blast!)

  1. It was so fun being with you and the boys. We had a great time and was pleasantly surprised at how fun and beautiful New Orleans was. I'd definately go back again in the future some time.

    Austin was so cute the way he holds a fork from the far end and then works so hard get the food to reach his mouth. It's such serious work. Jake was so cute with his Santa Hat and little Santa coin bag. It's great that a few shiny pennies can keep him happy while we waited for dinner. A great memory.
