Isaac enjoys a little R & R poolside. Maybe we should call HIM the "Big Easy!" 

For Mother's Day we celebrated (Saturday) by taking the trolley car to downtown New Orleans, watching an Imax movie, then catching the ferry across the river and back, returning to the Audubon park via trolley car, finding a little lost duckling and trying unsuccessfully to locate it's mother before releasing it next to a pond (much to the chagrin of two little girls), and finally eating dinner at one of areas oldest burger joints. Oh, and topping that off with a cold stone creamery ice cream dessert. We had to keep reminding ourselves that it was Mother's Day and not Daughter's Day. Isn't fun, though, to watch your kids have a ball!?

Waiting for the ferry to return in their new sunglasses. Downtown New Orleans across the mississippi. 

On the Ferry, I suddenly realized what Lainie and Brinley were doing and sprinted to pull them down. They couldn't figure out why I didn't want them up there. I had to remind them that they didn't have their special floating "muscles" (as they call them) on.
