Labor Day Weekend

It's no surprise that we got back on the road for another weekend with family. It's obviously one of our favorite things to do. Friday afternoon, we left Houma around 3 so that Nicky could make it to the gunshop in time to get his new pistol. Look how excited he is...

That evening, Nicky's parents treated us to a Landry's Special at Pizza Village. If you are from Lafayette, you know how exciting this is! We stayed at Gan's house Friday and Saturday nights, where we got to meet her and Zack's new pitbull, Julie.

On Sunday, we made our way to Shreveport to spend time with the McComics for Papaw's 67th birthday. Now, Jenni, Nicky and I have recently made it a tradition to stop in Alexandria on our way up north. We time it just right so that we pass through at lunch time, and we stop at this great restaurant called Taco Bueno...it's basically an upscale Taco Bell, and it's awesome!


This little slice of heaven is coated in cinnamon and stuffed with cheesecake. It's euphoric.


We finally made it up to Shreveport just in time to watch the first two episodes of Swamp People with Granny and Papaw. (Papaw TiVo's it.) Then the rest of the family showed up for some of Papaw's famous burgers and homemade fries.


It's a McComic family tradition for the birthday boy/girl to take a picture with their cake.


Nicky and Tyler went exploring with flashlights...


Jenni and Sarah did a little four-wheelin'...


There was even a little homework involved...
