Louisiana (Part 1)

We were able to spend a long weekend in Louisiana over Mother's Day!!  It was great to see family and friends and Jackson loved to see his Gammie and Papa!!  And although Jackson got sick the day we left home, he was such a little trooper.  

13 hours is a long drive to Louisiana and Jackson was grateful for any stop or excuse to get out of his carseat to move around and stretch!  We had hoped he would have slept more than he did, but he was a good sport.  He spent the majority of his time slowly throwing every toy we had brought over the side of his carseat between the seat and door.  Then we would retrieve everything at the next stop and he would start all over again!

I wish I had taken more pictures of him enjoying all the treasures of Daddy's childhood, like riding Buckey the Horse or the rocking chair, but we did get a few shots of him having all sorts of fun!

This is how the walk in Daddy's old wagon started...

...And this is how it ended.  I think Jackson like having the company!

At MawMaw and PawPaws house, there are all sorts of animals to feed and pet.  Jackson had absolutely no reservation about petting the goat or sticking his hand up in the cows mouth!!  He fed them grass and weeds...so much fun!!  We would go inside and he would point out the windows  to go back out to the animals.
