Natchitoches Weekend!!

We had such a great weekend in Natchitoches! Friday night we stayed at a Best Western, and it was your first time in a hotel. Exciting stuff!! Ha ha. I got a snapshot with the lady at the front desk since there weren't really any Best Western signs for us to stand in front of.

After we left there, we went ride by Northwestern State University, Mommy's old stomping grounds. It's still just as beautiful as ever!! And you know I just HAD to get a picture of you in front of the sign. I love that place!!

We love NSU!!

Isn't the campus just beautiful?

I made daddy ride through the downtown area, and it was just as quaint as I always remember it being. I love that area so much. And you know what? When we passed by the Cane River, there was a rowing race going on. In fact, I think it was the same rowing marathon Mommy was in 13 years ago! How cool is that?

So, then we headed to Veronica's sister's house. It was sooooo great to see them. We hadn't seen them since before you were born, so they all got to meet you. They just loved you so much. And then Breanna got to meet you! She was a little shy at first, but she warmed up to you really quickly. She talked talked talked to you and about you and kept putting your socks back on. She was so sweet to you, and we all agreed yall are gonna be great friends one day.

Breanna wasn't very sure about you at first.

Uncle Tyler and Aunt Veronica thought you were so precious!

Once Breanna warmed up to you, she loved you!!

Breanna loved dancing to "Apple Bottom Jeans."

Bart being silly with Breanna.

What a cutie pie! She's getting so big!

Aunt Veronica read you a book.

Saturday night we barbecued steaks and sat out by the outdoor fireplace. The weather all weekend was sooooo perfect. Nice and cool.

Today, we drove back home. Again, it was a gorgeous day, and all the leaves are changing in northern Louisiana and Texas. It was beautiful. We stopped in at Woodville on our way home and visited with Taylor and the family. We always have such a nice time talking with Crystal and Brian. We got to see your cousin Taylor's current home and their soon-to-be home. It was nice, and they really do live in the country! Ha ha.

Nobody felt like cooking tonight, so we made one last stop at Texas Roadhouse (of course!) As luck would have it, Andy the Armadillo was there, and we got a snapshot of you with him!

It was a great weekend - a nice little getaway.
Love, Mama Gelle
