Louisiana Trip

This picture is a good example on how the kids feel when we go to see Gr & Gr Cottrell!!

Like they can FLY!! 

Seriously, so fun down south

 Grandma Cottrell knows all the good eats around town.  A Snow cone is a must!  Flavors picked were Blue raspberry/cherry for Hayden and Justin's Spiderman cone, Black cherry for Nathan, pink lemonade for Diana (Gr Cottrell) and Clayton and I choose Tiger's blood, which is soooo good!

Nate and I also enjoyed some beignets to die for and Diana and Steve treated me out to a fancy seafood restaurant called DRACO'S for a pre-birthday dinner.  Fresh lobster yummmm
 

 While in Louisiana with more free time on our hands and a always willing Grandma that will babysit, I got my hair dyed from blonde with low lights to an all over dark brown!  Darker hair with highlights on top to give dimension.  I loved how it turned out!

 Oh, the fun we have in the pool when we visit Grandma and Grandpa Cottrell's!!  First thing we do when we arrive is jump in the pool.  We play lots of different water games, lunches on the patio, dinner grilling, and fun movie nights once it gets dark.   

 Playing catch was a huge hit with Clayton and Hayden.  They would jump off the diving board to try and catch the football in the air before hitting the water.  This picture of Hayden looks so cool because it looks like he is walking on the water!!

Grandpa Cottrell has fun playing diving games with Clayton and Hayden.  He does the tossing of gold dollar coins and they do the diving.  Each coin has to be dived after at least five times to earn it, which is good for both Grandpa's enjoyment and the boys.

 Justin and I soaking up some sun!

We also played spraying wars.  Nathan and Grandpa Cottrell against anyone else!  The kids had a good spot using the hot tub as their base and filling all the water guns for their attack!

The boys always have a good time on hot sunny days with Nathan.  With all boys there is tons of competition to be had!  Clayton and Hayden thought the funnest game was a running game.  With this game the boys could push Nathan into the pool if they ran around the house once and touched the side of the pool before Nathan could catch them.  I loved hearing the laughter and patting breaths from everyone!
