March 2011 – New Orleans

Back in March, Daniel drove with Tristan and Oliver to New Orleans to watch the BYU basketball team play against Florida in the Sweet 16.

Obviously they were hoping to be able to watch two games while they were there, but even though BYU lost their first game and didn’t advance, the boys were still able to have a fun time exploring New Orleans.

Beignets at the famous Café Du Monde:

I think one of their favorite places in New Orleans was the Audubon Insectarium.


While they were there, I got a call on the phone from Oliver.  He told me he had just eaten worms in the cafeteria at the Insectarium.  I was like, “Oh, haha, you mean they had spaghetti and they called it worms?”, and he said, “No, Mom.  Real worms.” 

I don’t know where this boy comes from.  He is crazy.   

Another trip favorite was the Cemetery tour.  The boys came home with all sorts of creepy stories to scare the girls with.

Happy boys.
