A little get-a-way!!!

My brother-in-law and his wife and family are moving to Slidell, LA. It is near New Orleans. I wanted to help them along in this journey. So on July 24th we got into the car, Vincent drove his truck and Joey drove the rented moving truck. It took us 3 days driving.... and we had fun and named it the.......

4 chicks and a baby, stuck in the middle, on hairspary highway, peeing in the dark.... 3 chicks and 2 dudies, each with a rotunda in the trunk, knockout Lacey, good shot and we all talk WHALE!!!!!

Sunday night around 7:00pm LA time we rolled into Slidell. David's Aunt Tina and Uncle Kenny met us here with Aimee her husband Josh. They brought us dinner..... Jambalaya!!! It was very good. We unloaded the truck, and Vincent bought a steamer. So we cleaned couches until about 2:30 am.

Monday we slept in until about 11:30. It felt good!! We did a little more unpacking, and trying to help Lacey get the house to feel like a house. It has rained so much. The lightning and thunder storms are great!!

Tuesday we got up and after getting the kids fed, Aunt Tina and Jennifer and Katie came over. Joey cooked a pork shoulder. For the most of the day we visited and got caught up on life. Then we found out that Melda's Aunt lives three houses down from where Joey and Lacey live now. So we went to visit her. This was my first time meeting Aunt Jan. She was very nice, and her home was lovely. The power went out when another storm came through. Uncle Kenny came later with Kevin (Katie's boyfriend). This is when we got to work. And ended with the pulled pork. It was very good.

Tomorrow I am heading into the city with Vincent. We are going to spend the day together before I go home on Thursday. I will have some pics to add later, and the rest of my trip.
