We went to Louisiana for Thanksgiving to visit Shawna's mom, dad and family. We flew into Baton Rouge on Wednesday evening, arriving late and stayed until Monday.
On Thanksgiving day, we had 17 people at Shawna's mom's house for lunch. We were joined by: Chet, Pat, Brandon, Nicole, Hunter, Brittany, Harmony, Hayden, Nicole's dad, Jim, Barbara, Nicole's aunt and uncle, and Ashley. For lunch, we had brisket, fried turkey, cornbread dressing, rice dressing, sweet potato casserole, eggplant casserole, gelatin salad, pineapple cake and coconut cake - we were not hungry when all was said and done! After everyone left, we napped and watched a movie with Shawna's mom.
On Friday and Saturday, we spent the day going through all of Brock's slides - throwing many of them away and keeping some to ship off to convert to digital prints. We ended up throwing away about 10 garbage bags full! It was quite an undertaking but happy to have it done. We were also visited during the day by Glenn on Friday and Nicole on Saturday.
On Friday evening, we had dinner with Hope and Craig at their camp in Spring Bayou. They picked us up by boat and we road around the lake for about 30 minutes. We then went to the camp and had a great time catching up and drinking wine. Hope made a big batch of jambalaya which was very yummy and a bread pudding made with donuts and white chocolate sauce which was also very yummy. Keith gave her a hard time for cutting the bread pudding recipe in half but we had plenty to eat!
On Saturday, we met Shawna's dad and Barbara in New Roads to have lunch at Hot Tails. Keith thought we were going to a strip club with that name!! Keith and Shawna split a catfish platter because at this point we were quite done with food! The meal was very tasty.
On Sunday, we mainly relaxed and on Monday, after we had breakfast, we packed up and chatted with Shawna's mom until we left to drive back to the airport. It was a great trip to catch up with everyone, to stuff ourselves with tasty food and to get through all of the family slides.
