Fall Break '09 Anniversary Trip to New Orleans

October 30th is our 38th anniversary--so we took JBU fall-break for a trip to see the Saints play the Giants in the Super Dome! We had such a good time--might make a Saints game an annual event! Ate Po-boys on the levy from Domilises, stayed on St. Charles Avenue across the street from the old Kolb's restaurant (we met in front of Kolb's 38 years ago on June 24th), had a blast at the game, ate at Commander's Palace, quick visit to Ocean Springs on the last day to see the kids.

In our new car! Piano lesson time! Pizza Tate!

JULY 2009: 4,865 Miles with Anna and Eben, our 4 1/2 and just 5 year olds!

Up to Chicago to get Anna.....down to Selmer, Tennessee to see the O'Neal family....on to Mississippi for Eben's 5th birthday, back to Arkansas (side trip to Tulsa, OK) to play and have cowboy and cowgirl cousin fun, up to Chicago to take Anna home, back to Arkansas for more Eben time, down to Dallas to give Eben back while Rebecca, Tyler and Tate were there, back home to Siloam Springs. We have the pictures to prove it!
The pictures are L to R, top to bottom....Breck's sister Lucy and husband Tommy, our neice Michelle's girl Lily with Anna, Eben and Anna rock climbing by our home, Michelle and her husband Joe Chambers, Duckie Anna and a video of Anna and Eben running in the field just west of our house--on the Oklahoma border.

Camp Nona & Pop-pops, Summer 2009 in NOLA

We went up to Chicago to get Anna and then back down to gulf coast to gather up Tyler, Eben and Tate--and off to New Orleans where we had a blast visiting the place where "yo daddy's grew up"! From Sno-balls to the St. Charles streetcar, from the riverboat Natchez to the Mississippi ferry, from the park to the levee, from the Chinese church to Arabi, we had a blast. Swam every night in the pool, had bignets at Cafe du Monde, went to Mardi Gras world, and enjoyed every minute with our grandchildren. Had a blast!
