Baby Jayden and Avery Island

We got two treats this weekend- seeing Baby Jayden Shroyer and visiting with our good friends Kendal and Richie! We had so much fun catching up with the Bookers, oohing and ahhing over Jayden, and visiting Avery Island with Richie and Kendal. I totally forgot to get a picture with me and Jayden :-( But here is what the cutie looks like!

She was soo good while we were there. She slept pretty much the entire time except when mommy was feeding her and was wearing her first bow! She was so pretty. :-)

After we ate some crawfish with the Bookers, Kendal and Richie and Justin and I decided to Avery Island. This is the Island that manufactors all the Tabasco sauce in the world, and also houses a beautiful garden (with alligators!) and bird refuge. We had such a good time catching up briefly with Kendal and Richie and going on a spur of the moment date!

Beautiful flowers blooming ALL over the island!

Look at this guy! You could walk right up to them. No fences!

This is the barallels that they store the tabasco peppers in for up to 3 years to age them. They put a layer of salt on the top to preserve the peppers as they age.

We had a great weekend!
