We Love Councle Rob

Cousin Rob, or as I'm informed by Kevin that in the South all relatives older than our children should be referred to as "uncle," came to visit Louisiana!! Rob compromised with the suggestion of "Councle." Actually he attended a conference in New Orleans, but had the foresight to plan a little visit to our home in Houma. We had so much fun! He was brave enough to try his first raw oyster, then chased it with a world famous Drago's grilled oyster. YUM!







We poked around the French Quarter and were sure to hit Cafe du Monde, the French Market and Jackson Square. You know it's hot outside when even the street performers refuse to perform and sit and wave instead as you pass them on the street.

Cafe du Monde. Notice Rob's "beignet breathe," a.k.a. powdered sugar. Also notice Michael's "beignet wear." I've never seen someone covered in so much powdered sugar after a beignet incident.





The French Market was pleasantly slow, thank you weekday crowd. But Rob still managed to find a super hat. Although, no thanks to the weekday crowd, the merchant was in no mood to bargain. It was, nonetheless, a super hat and had to go home with Rob.



Thanks to the incessant heat, Elle asked to be carried most of the day. She quickly fell in love with Rob who indulged her once I started to wain. I'd like to thank our photographer who happily followed our instructions to get "some" of the cathedral in the background of our photo in Jackson Square. lol.


Kevin took Rob on a swamp tour where he got to know some gators quite intimately.





But maybe not quite as intimately as Kevin.
