Another busy and fun day in New Orleans!! I never knew there was so much to do there, I’m learning a lot. Bennett went on a paddle wheel tour, it was a big boat. He sent me a pic on his phone of him holding a baby alligator. Also, a pic of the view from the paddle wheel boat.

They had lunch today at Boomtown where they went yesterday to play games. For some reason they didn’t eat there yesterday and came back today. This afternoon, they went to the AMC Palace Theater and saw Max Payne which Bennett didn’t like it.

Dinner was at Copeland’s Famous New Orleans Restaurant that is known for it’s lagniappe hospitality! I had to look up the word lagniappe which is used in Louisiana meaning a small gift given by way of good measure.  Bennett ate fried shrimp and this crab stuff that he said was really good.

This evening they went to the “House of Shock” haunted house and horror show. This haunted house is very controversial. They first watch a stage show with a live band , walk through a above ground cemetery, through a morgue and than enter the House of Shock. It’s rated the top 10 best and top 13th scariest in the nation.

Bennett flies out of New Orleans at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and will arrive in St Louis at 11:00 a.m. We can’t wait to see him as we have missed him terribly! We pray for a safe trip home and pray for all the kids fighting this disease.
