Independence Day and Zoo Pictures.

July 4, 2009:

Becky, Janet, and David celebrating Independence Day on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
Here I am representing Michigan.


July 5, 2009:

The drive back to Little Rock involves passing through Transylvania.
In the background you can see one of the many prisons between New Orleans and Little Rock.

The aardvark at the Little Rock Zoo.
Can you see what's hiding behind the foliage on Becky's right?

He looks as pissed off as Sam the Eagle.
Ellen and Mary throwing dust on themselves.



Ellen using the fence as a trunk-rest.
Surprisingly, the zoo keepers brought the elephants out of the enclosure and let people touch them while they ate. It was the first time I ever touched an elephant. They have rough skin and wirey hair.
Cats are all the same whether they are house cats or jaguars. They nap...
...use the scratching post...
...and play.
Becky figuring out what to go see next.




These guys kept tailing us. I think we were about to get mugged.

Garrett Ward Breaux.

I'm currently in New Orleans with Becky to visit her sister and brother-in-law who just had their first baby.

Here are the proud parents, Cathy and Mike, with Garrett.


Here's Becky with Garrett.


Look, I didn't drop him.

Still More Old New Orleans Pictures.

I had to put these pictures on here because I thought they were pretty funny. The pictures are of us at Mardi Gras. From left to right in the first picture are Angel, Mike, Becky, Megan, Me, and Zac. In the first picture we are excited about going to our first parade. In the second picture we are sad that the parade was cancelled for the afternoon. The second picture looks like an album cover.



Ok, now have another look at the pictures. Notice that Zac seems to have the exact opposite reactions as everyone else from picture to picture. That's pretty funny.

Well, the reason Zac looks pissed in the first picture is because some water or something leaked all over the inside of his backpack. I don't know why he's so happy in the second picture though.
