Trip to NOLA turned into a trip to MS! Pt. 2

The very best day of our trip was when we went to Winner's Circle Park and the MS Children's Museum. We had a BLAST!  That has got to be the coolest park ever.  I'll let the pictures explain.  Nehemiah also crossed monkey bars for the first time ever by himself...I was so proud of him! My camera was just about dead at the museum so I don't have many pictures from there.

 Next we headed to the Children's Museum!

I wish I had taken more pictures at the museum because it was so much fun!  We spent over 2 hours inside while there was a torrential downpour outside.  One gross fun part was a digestive system exhibit Nehemiah crawled through...he entered the mouth as "food", sat in the munching stomach, continued to crawl through small and large intestines and came down a slide into a giant potty!  LOL  I just died laughing; I'm such a 12 year old when it comes to stuff like that!  I guess that's why I fit so well with a houseful of boys!

So if you are ever in Jackson, MS do check out the Children's museum and this park but DO NOT waste your time at the zoo!

Trip to NOLA turned into a trip to MS! Pt. 1

I had mentioned that we had some days off this week and were getting away to New Orleans but that didn't end up happening how we planned.  There were several reasons and maybe I'll be able to explain in the next few weeks. The less complicated reasons being that Nehemiah threw up just 30 minutes down the road and we were just so exhausted and did not want to drive 5 hrs!  We had a good time regardless.  I mainly have negative things to say about Mississippi because we usually have less than par experiences when we travel through there.  But this trip was pretty good, surprisingly! EXCEPT for the Jackson ZOO...poor zoo needs so much work and attention. Nehemiah didn't seem to notice or mind that half the exhibits were overgrown, closed or empty! The best part was the Gibbons that were being engaged irritated by some teenagers and were howling like crazy.

Of course, there is almost never a trip where we don't go to Bass Pro Shop.  I guess a little "redneck" is rubbing off on me!  LOL

I'll do the rest of our pictures in Part 2!
