Lizzie loves to take pictures of herself on my phone. Look at that blue tongue!

We had a great week last week.
The first part of the week was busy with Taylor's basketball camp, swimming , chores, etc...
Then on Wednesday Danny and I headed to New Orleans!
Danny had a work conference there, and I decided to go and have fun with him.
Neither of us had been to the city before and we had a fabulous few days exploring the city! 

It was a new experience for us, the heat & humidity- but we loved it!  We stayed in a fun, nice hotel, which is here his conference was. He would go to meetings in the morning while I had free time, it was so luxurious! We'd meet up for lunch, and then I'd go to the pool while he had meetings in the afternoon.
At night we'd stroll around the streets taking in the sights, sounds, smells and delicious food of New Orleans!
It was very entertaining to walk along Bourbon Street and people watch, there were all kinds on that street. 

We tried all sorts of tasty food, gumbo, jambalaya, seafood, beignets. banana foster, Cuban Sandwiches, Muffuletta sandwiches etc... it was all tasty.  The fanciest restaurant we went to was called GW Finn's. It was delicious and fun to try new food. I got crab and Danny got a new type of fish. 


We had fun walking throught the streets and hearing all the street performers playing. We heard Jazz. blues, Country Western etc.. Some of the people were really talented and it was fun to see them perform. 


It was a wonderful, fun, relaxing few days. Thank you so much to G & G Shields and Aunt Mono for keeping care of our kids while we were gone!!!

Here's a few more pictures of Lizzie and Taylor doing his "Superman" off the high dive at the pool. 


We can't wait to see Cute jack this week at Lake Powell! He's growing up too fast!
We Love Summer!!
