A weekend trip to Baton Rouge!

This summer since our family trip plans changed, we have been trying to utilize the every other Friday Ragnar has off. We went to college station and to the presidential library and the drive through safari, and this weekend we headed to Baton Rouge to see Daphne.

She took the kids to get a flower to plant and then the kids ran through the sprinklers. 

The next morning we went on a Cajun Pride Swamp tour. 

It was hot, but we went early, so it wasn't bad. 

We saw a lot of alligators. 

A cute raccoon family. 

The tour guide would use bait to have the alligators come close. He would throw out marshmallows to have them come closer, and then he would feed them. 

He gave us all a turn to hold the baby alligator. 

The kids were brave, but Deacon and I opted to just look ;)

It was a fun family outing and now we can say we've tried it!

That afternoon the kids were pooped! Miraculously Channing fell asleep in Ragnar's arms. We watched the movie Ferdinand that night and hung out. We always have a nice time with Daphne and she is good at doing things with the kids that we don't make the time for.
