Louisianna & Arizona

Good Bye Jasper.

Well this may be the last post of our far away travels for a while.  If you haven't heard already; Jon was layed off from his Job.  It was quite abrupt really.  They did a mass layoff of all the senior managers.  At least we still have our coveted buddy pass for another year and a half!  Jon has been applying for jobs while enjoying this time at home with the fam.  I think the Lord has something in store for us that will be just right.  It is only a matter of time.

Here are the pics from our last couple of trips.
Lake Pontchartrain

Picnic at Sunset Point

   
Breezie loved the "Pink Store" I don't blame her- all the girliness you can squeeze into one place.
  
Introducing Creole Creamery.  It was on the food network for having the best ice cream in town.  We tried the six scoop sampler platter.  They had lots of unique flavors like red velvet cake, cream cheese, mexican hot chocolate- it was actually hot ice cream; (they put cinnamon & cayenne pepper in it. Jon liked it- I didn't.) but the pink lemon-aid pie was awesome!
Of course there is always swimming!
Beautiful Baton Rouge.  Here is the state Capital.  It was Gi-normouse.
I was on the grass for a matter of two seconds and felt something bite me.  I saw something on Breezie's leg and while I'm taking her off the grass & getting the bug off of her I got about 7 ant bites on my foot.  Turns out I'm super allergic to red ants.  So I had to put my leg up with ice on it to keep the swelling down, and always have my anti itch cream on hand.  I seriously had those bites for a good 4 weeks afterwards.  Now when I see red ants, I run!
Back in Pheonix.
So fun to go back to the zoo.  Going the end of August we were lucky it was only 107 degrees.
 Monkey Village-  you can go in and walk right up to the monkeys.
 Who likes to pose?

                            
The Pheonix Zoo has a fun little water park for the kids we liked to
end with that after a long day in the sun.
