So the first day we drove to Baton Rouge. Staying at hotels is super fun for my family because we don't have TV so it gives us an opportunity to see what TV viewing is all about. The boys all like Discovery Chanel and Science Channel and all of us enjoy watching the Food Network and HGTV. Well, maybe not Sennia, but the rest of us do so that's usually what goes on. We sit and eat dinner and wish we were eating what the bleached hair guy on "Tr</span><span style="font-size: large;">iple D" is eating. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The next morning before we headed out we enjoyed a very HOT and sweaty trip around the Baton Rouge Zoo. It's a nice little zoo with very talented Macaws but this pregnant lady was melting. I didn't have my camera but I did use my phone so maybe I'll get some pictures loaded at some point.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next day we made it all the way to VA and took the big financial plunge to see Luray Caverns which I'd always wanted to see.</span><br />

I'm pleased as punch with this boy of mine. He is doing so many things that give me hope for his future which I admit scares me sometimes. He also started seminary this year. He hasn't missed a day of getting himself up and taking his things and I really wondered about that kind of thing because he can't remember to put his clothes away in every day life. He has a very intense hobby that he's put lots of time and research into and I think he might grow up-as much as the male species actually does that. What great hope!!!</span><br />

What would a guy with a 7th child arriving any day be scheming about? It was not getting the cradle down from the attic as a matter of fact. He decided we HAD to remodel the Master Bath. I assured him that he had, indeed, lost his mind. After a time we finally compromised on a new tile, tub, shower job and leave the rest.<br />
Here goes. Eli felt pretty special that he was allowed to do some of the dirty work. Usually M only trusts them to run his errands so it was a big day for the men of the house.<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I signed Alena up to participate in a History Fair. She really would've preferred Laura Ingalls Wilder who is her favorite FAVORITE author in the whole world but since she was already taken, Alena went for Joan of Arc. It was a good choice since she was already studying her in history right now. She wrote a really great report on her life, and confidently read it. We learned that we need to work on slowing down and speaking up but she had a great time. </span><br />

It was a pleasant surprise after-all. </span><span style="font-size: small;">So for those of you who like a little story with your pictures can I tell you that planning this party was the effort of a lifetime. Won't happen again. I planned it for his actual birthday which happened to be the day of my Papaw's funeral. So mid-planning I got to call/text/email all these lovely people and find another day they could all come. They must love Matt because with I think 1 exception, we pulled it off. </span></td></tr>

I didn't have to travel very far but I had 4 young kids and was by myself. I am so blessed to still have for the very best of friends, my 2 friends since 11yrs. I asked and they rearranged, cleaned planned and each housed my little family. It was such a great reunion with the Hastings who we've gotten to be family friends with. I don't think my kids know the difference between cousins and Hastings. I didn't get any pictures at Jillene's because we crashed her house late and left early. But the Mangrums were so sweet to not just feed and bunk us, but even watched my kiddos while I had a play date with my siblings-so fun. I feel so grateful for them and their families and their kindness!</span></td></tr>
