Well it was Mardi Gras Here This Week

And that means that the kids and I had the whole week off of school! Aaron even scored a four-day weekend out of it. So we thought it over, and our choice to skip all the parades and head out for half a week on the river was a decision that was quick and easy for all six of us to make! That decision came late Friday afternoon, so we scrambled to throw our things together and made it to the camp late Friday night, then returned home late Tuesday night. Since I haven't put new pictures up in a couple weeks (so sorry!), here are a slew of them from our Mardi Gras vaca. :)

Big, Big Boy

A Peek into Springtime!

We've had a gorgeous mid-70's kind of weekend...



















We saw a few alligators




(see the little gator off to the right of the girls in this pic below? A couple of them got a goooood fright when that little gator, after lying perfectly still for a good long time, got tired of being teased and fiercely opened his jaws proving that yes indeedy, he was very real and very alive! )
