Saturday Morning

David and I took advantage of waking up (early) in New Orleans Saturday morning to take the kids out and about. We started off with breakfast at Cafe Du Monde. As you can see, Elise was loving the beignets!


Ironically, Lila, who loves food, would not take a bite of a beignet! Bennett and Elise finished them off though!
Elise and I went to find a potty and she fell in love with this big crawfish! She thought it was definitely necessary for her to take a picture in her crawfish dress next to the giant crawfish!

Afterwards, because it was raining, we decided to take the kids to the Aquarium. We are members, but it had been a while since we had made the trip over. They loved it and it was a great day to spend some time on a rainy day...
Their favorite part was the children's area- mostly because they could run around and explore and were not confined to their stroller...The stroller is becoming less and less popular these days...they just want FREEDOM!

Waving at the penguins...This exhibit was also one of their favorites!

After this we took a rainy walk back to the hotel for naps and wedding prep! Almost time for the big night!!
