Grandma Fisher and Aunt Lindsay's Visit

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything!
In June Mom and Lindsay came to visit and we had so much fun with them while they were here! Most of the time we took pictures on our phones, so I don't have many pictures to share here, but I'll show the ones we got.

 We picked them up from the airport in New Orleans and headed to the New Orleans Art Museum. It's such a neat museum, and I think they enjoyed it. Lindsay really loved the sculpture garden outside, even though it was so hot! Here she is by a sculpture called "Karma."
On one of the sculptures she found a lizard, and chased him around it for awhile until he ran away.

 Oliver loved having them here and spending time with them. He and Lindsay played so much, it was awesome. He loved cuddling with Grandma Fisher and having storytime with her.

 We made a little trip down to Avery Island and toured the Tobasco Factory, which was really neat. They taught us all about how to make Tobasco. Then, we headed down to the coast and swam in the Gulf of Mexico. We took some pictures with our phones down there. It was fun to get in the warm water, and Oliver enjoyed the sand.

Then next day, after we took our towels out to wash them, we found this huge cockroach in the bathroom. We think he must have come home from the beach with us, since we haven't had any before or since! He was so fast, Mom and Mike caught him in a tupperware let him out in the parking lot.

 Oliver and Aunt Lindsay all ready for church. Thanks for the new cute outfit Great-Grandma Lindsay. I know you can't see it very well in this picture, I'll try to get a better one next time he wears it. Everyone at church thought Lindsay was so cute!

 Lindsay got a picture of Mom and Mike cooking us some dinner.

 Sunday night we took a drive around town and stopped so Lindsay could meet Mike the Tiger, LSU's mascot. He was really active, which was so neat!

 We'd never seen him in the water before, and he got in several times while we were there.

 I think Mike the Tiger was Lindsay's favorite part of the whole trip!


 On Monday we took a walk along the levee to see what was there.


 We got to see a steamboat and Lindsay is positive she saw an alligator. :)

 The tall building is the Capitol Building. We walked around it a bit, and next time they come we'll have to go take a tour.

 We went back to see Mike again Monday night so Lindsay could say goodbye, but he wasn't out. She was a little sad, but did get to take some pictures on his statue.




It was so fun to have them here for almost a week and spend so much time with them! I'm so glad they could come and see Little Man. Hopefully it won't be too long before we'll make it to Idaho to see them, Oliver's been missing everyone!
