Around the Town: Down in the Bayou

Once we left the lovely white sands of Pensacola,

we took a few day detour to Louisiana

to visit with my hubby's family before heading home.

There's always lots of swimming in the pool at Nana & Pops house.

And bonfires at night.

Since my sister-in-law came & brought her boys,

our boys had a ton of fun playing with their cousins as well.

On a "pinecone" hunt with Pops.

Making crafts with Nana.

Nana made her a princess crown. :)

One of our absolute favorite things to do when we go there

is getting "Sno-balls".

The kiddos know they're in for a treat!! :)

A sweet "cousin moment"

This trip I got a chance to enjoy a cute little

Louisiana shop & grille with my mother&sis-in-law

 called "Bayou Country".

I really enjoyed the Cajun flair!!

The jambalaya wrap was so yummy-licious.

I'm going to have to try recreating it sometime soon.

Apparently this place makes some of the best pralines around.

And, I have to add... I got corrected on the pronunciation of pralines.

I guess it's said "pr(ah)lines" not "pr(ay)lines"! lol.

I'm a Northern girl, trying to be a Southerner for the last 13 years. :)

So of course, I bought my hubby the 6 different kinds,

as a surprise for our 10th anniversary!

A couple other finds at Bayou Country. Yum!

And, of course, there were a few Catan tourneys as well. :)

We enjoyed our time, however,

we were really glad to get home to what felt like less humidity!!

heehee.

When we left Texas, it felt like a sauna.

Upon returning from Louisiana, it felt rather dry.

I guess it's all in the perspective, eh?
