Playing Downtown...

We headed of to town to do some bike riding along a trail I found out about that runs along the Mississippi. The river has been very high. All those trees to the right of the picture below are normally well away from the river.

There is a water fountain in the sidewalk downtown. Kids can be seen playing in it from time to time. Our kids love it. The water is just cold enough to be refreshing on a hot summer day with the breeze blowing off the river.

LOL...this was funny. He sat on a sprayer...so here's before:

And after...what I missed next was the jumping up part and him very surprised that water went wooshing so quickly up his backside, lol!

Tall Girl may be tall but those jets shoot the water quite high at times.

We rode the trolley at the end of the day...It was a lot of fun.

Tammany Trace...

Our self portrait...sometimes it's hard to get pictures of just the two of us and well...the kids were a bit busy (scroll down to see what they were doing in the tree, lol).

This is a very nice bike trail. It is easy to ride, has really neat things to see or visit along the way. I love spring in Louisiana (when it's not raining, lol)! The weather is just fantastic and today was no exception. We took the bikes out there and rode around a bit. I was looking for a fountain that the kids are allowed to play in, unfortunately it was closed for repairs. We did however find a park right off Lake Pontchartrain. We watched the boats come in and out and people having a good time on them. We saw these two fellows riding upon what looked like oversized surfboards, paddling along with a longish sort of paddle. It was interesting....Here we are on the pier at the lake in Fountainbleau Park.Dad had said no water...yeah right!
On the trail.....

Little Man giving Tall Girl a boost. How nice of him...
