The Big Easy... continued

On Friday, we decided to check out the Audubon Zoo. We saw snakes, an albino Gator, and Todd Jr. even got to pet an Indian Elephant... of course the camera battery had to die at that exact moment...

Todd Jr, Foe Foe and Grady climbed to the top of Monkey Hill, the highest point in New Orleans... Grady just wanted to go so he could see the "Lion King." Needless to say, around the noon hour in New Orleans in the middle of July, the weather can be more than a little toasty... So, we headed home for a sandwich and a cool down and then back out for a ride on the Street Car (otherwise known as the "choo choo train, mommy" according to Grady Joe)... unfortunately, I did not get any photos of our adventure because Grant Albert James Harris was being so wiggly!!! Also, Me Me dropped her phone when we had to switch cars while she was helping Grady Joe with his "plip plops."... Never the less, we had a good time, there are so many beautiful homes along St. Charles... it is also so good to see so much hustle and bustle in NOLA.... New Orleans may have been down, but it is certainly not out....

I actually just heard from Me Me, she got a new phone, so all is well.... they miss us bunches and we miss them too... Todd Jr cried himself to sleep Saturday night after we got home... He was ready to get back in the car on Sunday morning to head back to Me Me and Foe Foe's and was excessively disappointed that we were not going back.

So, now we look ahead to the rest of the summer... and the impending arrival of the first day of school...
