New Roads on the 4th

It was another great family gathering on False River in New Roads, LA. Cousins, siblings and parents all came to the camp. It was good to get away and just be with the ones you love in a place you love.

Dad and Joan blogged about it:

Here are some more visuals to go with it.

Refreshments!

Relaxation .... Joan and Amanda reading on the pier

More relaxation, Jamie using the hammock to its fullest!
Swimming in the River
Fireworks at Baton Rouge. We sit on the levy of the mighty Mississip' and watch the show launch from a barge in the river.

Pyrotechnics! After the Baton Rouge show we return to the camp to light off our own show! These babies were procured from Ms. Shirley in Morganza for a wad of cash and a dozen boiled crabs! Nothing like the thrill of lighting the fuse and running for it.


What a great weekend!
