Gabe and Mommy

While Mom was visiting we went to New Orleans to hang out. We walked to the aquarium which was closed! We were so disappointed. But the big windows in the giftshop were full of stuffed animals, t-shirts and pictures. We let Gabe look around while we cooled off in the shade. Mom wanted to take some pictures of Gabe and I together because we really don't have that many-I am usually the ones taking the photos. I think the pictures came out great, even though Mom has never really been that talented with a camera (she fully admits it!). We also walked around the Riverwalk and checked out all the shops. Gabriel entertained himself by looking in ALL the shops' windows and running around us. He was very well behaved and I know that I am really lucky to have such a happy toddler!

The Golf Cart Carries On

Grandma and Grandpa Kolb bought a golf cart when they moved to Diamondhead and the cousins drove it all the time. We crashed it into the ditch, up on their back deck, and flung each other off of it. Jessie usually drove and kept Victoria and Kimberly in the front. Kristyn and I would sit in the back and we would make poor Meghan hold on for dear life on the side. We have so many great memories of the "golf cart days;" riding around the big circle, listening to music and picking up the neighbors' kids. We also found a dead turtle on one of the side road and gave him a proper little burial fitted with an american flag! We laugh and laugh whenever we talk about it. Now Aunt Debbie has a golf cart and there is a new "driver" in town. Gabriel absolutely loves the golf cart and will sit in it for hours pretending to drive. The other day he just sat in V's lap while she drove him around the yard over and over. I jumped in for a quick ride and Mallory ran beside us.
