NOLA Trip Part 1

The end of school meant we had to take a little trip! We headed to New Orleans for an overnight trip, and we packed as much in as we possibly could. On Friday we went to the aquarium and insectarium, cruised around downtown, and swam in the hotel indoor pool. On Saturday we went to the zoo. (Those pictures will be in the next post.) I only took around 150 pictures :) I did my best to narrow them down.

On the Riverwalk waiting to go inside the aquarium.

Instant amazement!

Brantlee couldn't part with her Skittles and sunglasses. They made it in many of our photos :)

Not the best angle or picture, but this is Collin with his hand in the water touching the stingrays!

Seeing the anaconda!

Posing at the wishing fountain before we left. (Notice B's cooperative spirit-ha!)

It was hot in NOLA! The kids stayed cool with push-up icecream.

Here we are not far from Jackson Square.

We just love it here! We worried about how the kids would do in strollers all day, but they really enjoyed it!

Next was the insectarium. Collin loved it most of all.

Brantlee eventually got interested too.

The best thing about it was the butterfly exhibit, which also had some amazing fish.

Thanks to Poppa for getting us a room in the French Quarter.

We were on the 20th floor! Yikes!

We enjoyed some time in the pool before heading out again for dinner.

The kids are FEARLESS this year swimming.

Next post will be zoo pictures!
