New Orleans Visit - July 2011

The Family Truckster was loaded up once again for the fun-filled drive from Dallas to New Orleans. Sal and the kids stopped in Baton Rouge to visit Mike the Tiger (and get really excited about lizards) on their drive down.

During our week, we enjoyed refreshing snowballs, fed and held alligators and visited with Grammy Noll.

We spent one morning at Insta-Gator, a alligator ranch that is working to revive the alligator population in Lousiana. I think they've done their job well - the alligator population now numbers 3,000, 000!! I was shocked that Lainey would so willingly reach out and touch the alligators... and she was the first one with a hand out. Zach had a great time feeding marshmallows to the alligators and holding them.

Here's our little One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Pink Fish splashing in the pool. What fun!!
