Hayden drives the swamp boat!

Claude, our Honey Island Swamp Tour Captain/Guide, was nice enough to let Hayden drive the boat a couple times during our tour. Despite the serious face Hayden had, he was having an absolute BLAST! Since Hayden was the only kid on the boat, he was a little spoiled! Little did Claude know, he couldn't have picked a more appropriate & appreciative kid to give this opportunity to! He told us about his daughter who is Hayden's age - and who also loves wildlife and wants to be a Vet just like Hayden! This was our favorite time in Louisiana!

Who needs the zoo??

This was soooooooo awesome! We were on a relatively flat boat with just a few rails on the side and this alligator is RIGHT THERE! It was a GREAT experience! One we'll never forget!

New Orleans!

A swimming clip!

Rosie absolutely LOVES the water now! She's even started sticking her head under water. She snorts a lot, but it doesn't seem to slow her down!

May 18 - Another trip to the river!
