louisiana trip

At the end of October, we took a trip home to see our brother-in-law, Jake, get baptized at Bible Baptist Church. Noah talked about it for weeks and kept asking when he was going to get baptized. We were so glad to be able to join our family in celebrating Jake's commitment to follow Christ in baptism. We were also thankful to be there on a Sunday that he sang and played guitar as well.

On Friday we arrived to Jake and KK's house at dinner time and enjoyed a yummy meal of crawfish and corn chowder!

On Saturday we took a trip to Reeves to visit CW Farms. Here the cousins are playing in a large vat of corn kernels. Who knew that corn could provide such great entertainment?

Of course, Jude's favorite spot was the petting zoo. He just laughs and laughs when he sees any animal. He also started making some animals sounds such as "moo" and "baa". So adorable!

Landon brought a friend with him and these boys were so helpful with Noah and Carson. They took them up this mountain of tires and dirt. The little guys felt so big going up with the big guys.

jump!

Our whole group took a hay ride, minus the hay. There were great sights along the way. We were able to see many animals as we travelled around the large property.


Saturday evening we enjoyed some yummy fried foods- shrimp, fish, fries, and hush puppies. Then the guys enjoyed the LSU game and the girls took the little boys (minus Jude) with us to Walmart. Noah and Carson picked out a toy that Grammie lovingly bought for them. Noah is still sleeping with his soccer ball that he picked out.

On Sunday, we enjoyed going to Sunday School with Jake and KK. We enjoyed the church service as well, where Jake was baptized. We enjoyed lunch together as a large family and friend gathering at my mom and dad's afterwards. Then we were on our way home!

Thank you Jake for allowing us to be a part of such a special time in your life!
