LA Times: good friends, good food, great trip!

We got our summer started out on the right foot this year! As soon as Maci finished up her last day of kindergarten, we packed up the family and headed out to Louisiana to spend time with our dear, dear friends, the Drake's!!! We met in college, but have remained very close through our "grown-up" days! It is so much fun getting to be part of each other's growing families. Anyway, they had an amazing time planned for our family when we arrived! We had lots of playtime and catch up time. We got to go out on their awesome boat, eat snow cones, choose from 100's of popcorn flavors for a little girl movie night, eat awesome (so they tell me, I had a burger) sea food, make homemade ice cream, etc etc etc!!! It was a wonderful time and we hope they will let us come back again sometime soon! Here are some pictures, but since I am so far behind on this blog, I will leave them in the jumbled up order they are in!

Blake and Alan in the Tchhekjhekjekhtah River (Never could have spelled that one, but the name is not important!!)



Blake decided sleep would be better than trying to figure out why he was caged in that life jacket, and why we were flying across the water, and why it was so stinkin hot...he escaped!
