More New Orleans

"Oh boy! We're going to Story Land!!!!!!!" Halli was a little excited to be going to Story Land. She had seen some of the things earlier and couldn't wait to go and check it all out!




How creative to have a place just about stories. Some of them Halli hadn't heard of. We will need to get out some different books. There were a few things we couldn't go on or enter because they still needed to be repaired. You can imagine what it looked like before Katrina. Another reminder of how long it's going to take to rebuild the city. :(





We got go on a train ride around City Park. I think it was a 15 minute ride. It was long enough to get a nice breeze and to enjoy a snack. You also could see how many more things still need repair.





Halli thought this was Jonah and the Whale. She just didn't want to leave! I thought she might be a little scared of it. Nope, she loved it! When it started pouring rain on us, Halli said we could stay in the whale and be dry. I had to carry her out of the whale and put her in the car.








Halli trying to patiently wait for Logan and Jordan to be done riding the roller coaster. She didn't wait that patiently and then went and pouted instead. She told me she lost her patience and couldn't find it.




Halli get to ride the cars all by herself!




Halli was soooo excited to see that the Brantley's have flamingos. She was surprised that Fred and Frannie flew all the way to New Orleans to see her. Fred and Frannie are some flamingos that she passes by everyday in someones yard. They have become her friends. You never know when they are going to pop up somewhere. Last year they showed up at our camping site!










"Look mom! I can fit in your bag!" Why do kids and pets love climbing into bags?
