Halloween

Halloween was pretty quiet this year.  The boys were able to show off their costumes at church, but there wasn't a festival this year.  Jackson's LSU football uniform was one of the best costumes (Thanks Gammie!) and he got tons of compliments.  He even ran up and "tackled" our pastor who is 6'7"!  Haha!! He also made sure people knew it was LSU and not just a generic football uniform.  Judah got to be one of daddy's x-rays!  Our plans on actual Halloween night had to be readjusted due to someone else's sick child, so we had a nice quiet night in. No complaining here!








Louisiana (Family Time)

As much fun as the museum was, we were so grateful to spend the majority of our trip with family.  We really wanted Jackson and Judah to make some special memories with their great-grandparents and while Judah is still so young, Jackson had a great time;  Sitting on laps, eating meals together, conversing and playing with toys.  Over a month later and he is still talking about each of his 'greats' for different reasons/memories.

There are plenty of golf carts around South Carolina and now Jackson will see one and ask to go to PawPaw's to ride on his golf cart.  He especially wants to ride to see the cows, horses and the bees.  He also tries to push his bottom teeth forward like Poppy does with his dentures.

Of course we had to make a stop by Mike the Tiger!  Mike wasn't too interested in us until we set the boys down and he realized how bite-sized they were.  Then he started pacing and chuffing.  They say that a chuff is a friendly sound, but I'm not sure how this mama feels about that!







We are especially grateful for Gammie and Papa!  We love them so much!!!

Louisiana (Children's Museum)

We had the best time at the knock knock museum in Baton Rouge.  I think Jackson told people about the entry stamp on his hand for the next week.  Forgive the abundance of photos, but this is only a sample of the interactive exhibits and photos from our experience.
