Benjamin loved playing in the hotel room Friday night. He thought it was so fun to throw himself on the bed and roll around in the covers. Love my silly boy. He also thought it was lots of fun to play in the curtains of the lobby.
Saturday morning in New Orleans was quite chilly! We had a great breakfast at Red Gravy where I enjoyed about 3 cups of hot apple cider, perfect on such a crisp fall morning. And again, Benjamin did fantastic despite the restaurant not having a high chair. So many people commented on how well behaved he was which made me quite a proud momma! We spent Saturday morning at the Aquarium of the America's which was just as enjoyable as the zoo. We especially enjoyed the otters and the penguins.
And headed back to Lafayette around noon which was perfect timing to stop in New Ibera to see Dada at one of his check points during his race. This picture was right after Matt had been flipped by a large boat but that didn't deter his spirits. Saturday was the hardest part of Matt's race, 59 miles, which he started at 9AM and made it to the end at around 12:45 AM Sunday. Matt was in the racing division so he had to finish within a certain time frame each day and no surprise he still finished in time Saturday despite being capsized.
Of course we had lots of hugs from Pops and Bubba as well as Elliott was Matt's bank runner and Pop's was out there running the show so we didn't get to see them very much all weekend.
