One Month Down...

We have survived our first month and a few days, yay!

Unfortunately everyone is saying winter is on its way, which means we will have to be leaving here sooner than we thought. We are already seeing temperatures that they do not normally see until October. That's not good for these two Louisiana kids. We wanted to try to make it here until mid November but it looks like we will have to catch a job further south since this RV park closes October 1st. That's the only negative about tramping where it gets cold, almost all of your RV parks are seasonal so they are only open during the summer months. Then if you are lucky enough to find an open park more than likely you wont have running water.

Since we know our time is limited here our to do list has been rewritten a bit. We found Crystal Lake last week, I cant get over how crystal clear the water is here. All we have in Louisiana is muddy water. Here you can see 3-5 down easy. We had talked about going swimming there one weekend but with the current temperatures I don't think that it is going to happen, and of course Dad wont bring the ski boat up here. We are also trying to plan a weekend trip to one of the great lakes we just seem to decided on which one, where to go, and what to do.

It is strange that I think it is totally hilarious that the grocery store put the cajun style food on the world food isle :) When I seen it I just had to stop and stare. But the good news is I found all the Tony  Chachere I need and want along with Cafe du Monde coffee and beignet mix. What is even more funny is that Dylan has all the guys on his crew convinced that only the men in Louisiana can cook etouffee, bahaha ask me how many times he has cooked it. That's ok though because he gets to cook the gumbo and if he is nice I will take care of the etouffee.

On a positive note we went fishing last weekend and I actually caught a fish, it has been years. Being totally honest it was more like catching than fishing, which is my kinda fishing. 34 bream later and we were out of worms but it was good relaxing fun.
