I took her out for some authentic Louisiana southern food. We ordered WAY too much and paid for it later that night, but it was good. We ate Gumbo Ya Ya Soup, Shrimp and Scallop Corn Chowder, Crawfish Bread, and Spicy Shrimp and Crab Cake Pasta. Yummy!
(All pictures are taken from Jen's blog, she did all the hard work and I just stole it!)
We went down the Louisiana Boardwalk. This runs a long the Red River and has great shopping and food. We ate some more and shopped a lot. I took her out to the Air Force Base to see a true Louisiana Bayou (aka: swamp). We didn't see any alligators, so I took her to Bass Pro Shop, so she could see the alligators they have outside. Not quite the same as in the wild, but a lot safer.
I hung out and did a lot of cuddling with Clayton. He is such a cutie and so well behaved. We drug him all around Shreveport and Bossier and he was a trooper.
We hung out at the soccer fields and watched Nathan's last game. Jen also got to hear Nathan play at his piano recital. 
We were all so happy to have her and Clayton come to visit. See what ya'll are missing out on. Thanks for coming Jen and know you can come visit the Bayou anytime you want.

Hey, that's not fair! If I didn't have to buy at least 3 plane tickets I would be out there as soon as I could! I really do want to come out and see you guys and try the food! It looks yummy!
How fun! It's cool to see some of what life is like down south. The food sounds amazing! You should share some recipes with us.
By the way, your friend's little boy is so cute! I love his hair.
I hear you, Hillary. We were hard pressed to get visitors in Texas, and the only reason people have come to see us here is so they can go to Disneyland! Well, at least the food is good...
Ahhhh, I miss you guys already! Seriously....thanks for letting me visit! It was the best 4 days ever! It was fun to see your lives down there. So glad I got to see Nathan's soccer game and recital! Tell Josh that I can't wait to give him another big smooch!
