Stopped Somewhere Sunday Summary

The WW post for the 11th of July is missing. So today you are going to get a "stopped somewhere Sunday summary"


I picked up Aurora this morning in DeRidder, LA; at the police station of all places, sadly there were no free donuts or coffee available.

We headed south through Lake Charles and on to Baton Rouge.

On the way we stopped to see some quirky roadside attractions. There was an animatronic swamp show at the welcome center.



 Followed by a live tiger at the Tiger Truck stop. Even though the tiger was sleeping it was still neat.



Then lunch with an old friend in Baton Rouge at an amazing food truck!!


Followed by seeing Old Blue Eyes the town gator.

It's been a great trip so far! I'm so glad to have Aurora back from vacationing without me.

Our summer has thankfully been extended (thank you state of Alabama!) so we will have a few weeks of relaxed summer fun before we go to the beaches in North Carolina with our people.

Look for more updates. And keep in touch.

Today Aurora wanted to wear her [...patriotic swimsuit] because she had said, "I want to be proud too." We spent the day at Toledo Bend Lake, where we swam and fished the day away. We spent the evening watching and shooting off fireworks off in celebration of our independence. All in all it was a fantastic 4th of July.

Today Aurora wanted to wake up bright and early with me to go into work and started it by saying, "Daddy, I'm ready to go on our adventure. I've got your hat, some chocolate milk, and my leopard, so I'm ready to go!"

We spent the afternoon just hanging around the house under the shade tree.

Sadly, today we had to say goodbye to Grammie and Grandad. It was a good visit but all things come to an end.

Today Aurora spent the day playing with dogs and cat or running around out side. All in all a very pleasant way to spend a summer's day.
