louisiana road trip

last weekend, we made our first out-of-town road trip with brendan to visit GJ, the allens, and the morrows in louisiana.  we made great time and brendan was just about perfect on the drive there except for when we encountered standstill traffic in shreveport and he thought we had arrived.  brendan and GJ got in some quality hangout time before bedtime, but saturday was full of hanging out with family.

we started the day with joe's soccer game and followed that up with lunch and trampoline time at the morrow home.  we tasted some of emily's wonderful goodies at a local coffee shop that afternoon.  seriously, if you are reading this you should be said that you do not live in ruston, la and cannot enjoy emily's amazing cookies and muffins (not to mention everything else she bakes or cooks).  saturday night, emily cooked dinner and nutella pie for erin's birthday.  we topped off the night with a visit from fred and allison at GJ's house.  i know lee loved to introduce his son to one of his oldest and closest friends.  fred and allison also loaded brendan up with some very cute outfits that we cannot wait for him to wear. sunday, we said our goodbyes and completed every louisiana trip the way they all should be capped off:  with a little johnny's pizza!  (thanks to emily for sharing some of her great pictures since i forgot my camera!)
