Summer visit to Louisiana

Our Father's Day roadtrip to Louisiana was also a transporting of the kids to Louisiana to spend a full week with family. They had a grand time. Since Monique's folks work outside of the home 9-5, Monique's aunt, Glynette, affectionately called Nanny by everyone, was their 9-3 caretaker. Monique's mom arranged for her work days to end at 3pm, so she could be home with her grandbabies by 3:15. Monique's dad arrived home, as usual, by 4:30 pm. They are very routine-driven folks, so their evenings usually consist of kicking back having dinner and watching TV, or having 4 or 5 of the other households on the street, all relatives, come by for a visit. We know for sure that having those kids there just for them to look at every evening as they went about their routine, meant the world to them. And the kids didn't come back spoiled too bad either!!
