Day 9: Luling part deux

You might be wondering what happened to my post last night. My editor was up late talking story with Uncle Ron and Aunty Goldie so he didn't get a chance to work on my post. Sorry. In any case, hopefully I'll have done two by the end of today.

So yesterday, we didn't drive 6 hours. Instead we hung out in Louisiana and went sightseeing and visiting folks.

First stop was the swamp. Mommy and daddy liked it a lot. I thought it was too hot.

I checked out this little frog. There were lots of big green frogs in the water.


Daddy wasn't such a big fan of these spiders


Guji Guji was there

Then we came back to the nice air conditioned house and I took a long nap.


While I was napping, Aunty Goldie brought out the good stuff. Aki loved putting these on and taking them off and putting them on and taking them off...


Daddy tried on Aunty Goldie's Mardi Gras hat

After my nap we drove into the city. We met up with Auntie Uyen and Uncle Oli. They took us to a great restaurant where Aki and I ate crackers.

Afterwards we played outside and Uncle Oli tried to get me. Here I am hiding behind our bags.


Uncle Oli tried really hard to get Aki to say his name. "Oli!" "Aaaahhhh-llllleeee!" No luck with the name, but he did get some nice smiles.

Thanks for a great trip Uncle Ron, Auntie Goldie, Uncle Oli and Auntie Uyen! Today we're off to Houston to visit more peeps. I hope we get out of the car at least once or twice!
