This past weekend we brought Doug's little cousin from Houma to New Orleans to spend the weekend with us for her 13th birthday. We had such a great time with her, and we went non-stop. Oh to have that kind of energy again! :) Saturday we took her to the aquarium and the imax - both of which she had never been to before. Saturday night we watched "17 Again" (which I must admit Zac Efron is quite the cutie!) while stuffing our faces with pizza. After, we had cake, and then she wanted to watch the movie again. Sunday we started the day with beignets at Cafe du Monde at the Riverwalk. Then it was off to the insectarium, streetcar ride to Camellia Grill, and finally snowballs at Hansen's(which are only the most amazing in the world! click to check out the history behind the snowball stand). Whew! It was a lot of fun to see her experience some of these for the first time. And it is great to spend time with the "little" ones because it reminds you to be silly, not to take life for granted, and to explore your back yard in a way you may not be used to doing.
