Pics from our time in Louisiana

Here are more pics from our time in Louisiana.  We only have a few more days here and then we head to Virginia for 8 1/2 weeks.  I'm excited to actually be able to hang up my clothes.

Owen helped Pawpaw feed the horses 2 times everyday.  

We went to a blueberry farm one morning to pick blueberries.  Within 1 hour we had two huge buckets full of blueberries.  It took awhile for Owen to learn to only pick the blue ones, but by the end he had figured it out.  Needless to say, this past week we've had blueberry cake, blueberry french toast and blueberries on top of ice cream and cereal.  If anyone has any good blueberry recipes, send them our way :)

Downtown Shreveport has a great fountain for kids to play in.  Since this is one of Owen's favorite things to do, we took the whole family down to play one afternoon.

Uncle B is helping Owen play Duck Hunt on the Wii.  Owen also played Bowling which was hilarious.  The only way we could get him to release the button after swinging his arm was to tell him to drop the controller.  That quickly turned into the Wii controller fly across the living room.

Reading with Aunt Sassy

Owen played in the sprinklers one afternoon and thought he'd help out by watering the flowers and the horses.

The picture above shows Owen taking a rest on the ball that he had been kicking around the yard for the past HOUR!  The kid has more energy than he knows what to do with.

A bunch of Ryan's college friends came out one night for dinner.  This is a pic of all of the kids playing with the horses.
Owen loves country living.  Where else can you play with horses, ride on tractors and catch frogs all in one day.
