Ben's favorite ride was Splash Mountain and here is the proof that we all got soaked!!
Ben loved the pool that we never swam in. You can see Cinderella's castle behind the trees.
Michael and Ben were waiting for their race car.
First Monorail ride with dad.
The stars of the show at Animal Kingdom.
This is Ben on a lava rock outside of our building at the Polynesian.
Lego store in Downtown Disney--YES, we bought Legos!
This is the lobby of the hotel right after we checked in.
We were all in our neighbor's yard watching fireworks! It was a great evening!
My two favorite boys!! 
Our new 'sitting spot' in the corner of the backyard. That is our new garden that we just added to the yard with plants that I dug up from my grandma's yard in Louisiana.
We made a cake for Michael's 39th birthday. It was only fitting, being that he is in the car business that he have a car cake. Well, I now know why grocery stores have bakeries and I also know that I will never qualify for a job in one! Those are decorations around the column and the chair...we don't normally have crepe paper streamers taped all over the house. Ben did the decorating!
This was daddy's idea and the yard got watered at the same time!
We have hit the pool every weekday for the past 3 weeks. Padraig and Ben are having fun trying to stay cool!
Our new garden again. My grandma had some odd plants growing in her yard..one looks like a poinsettia and one looks like a hydrangea...I am sure they will take over my yard, but who cares! They are back in the corner in the shade by the cannas and daylilly that you can't really see.
We painted pottery (or a platter for daddy's pocket stuff) for daddy for Father's Day. It was fun...but mommy had to finish it. That is Ben's hand though and daddy loves it!
There is a blueberry patch near my friend's house, so we took the kids and picked for an hour...and that is our bucket full. Ben is wearing his new tie dyed shirt that we made with our friends the day before.
Wow...Ben and I love our huge sunflowers. Daddy, not so much. Sporting yet another tie dyed shirt. It kinda goes with the long, hippie hair.
This crawfish has been in front of this restaurant for as long as I can remember.
Mo Mo, Mom, Ben and I at the Lorraine Bridge. It is an old wooden bridge that is still in use. 
Who doesn't love sitting on a swing in the shade??
We spent a day out at the Laccassine National Wildlife Refuge. We got to see an alligator after I took this picture of my dad and Ben at the end of a pier that went out over the swamp.
Leave it to my dad to know where someone is emptying crawfish traps in the middle of nowhere. We got to get on the boat and motor through the flooded rice fields and empty traps that were full of live crawfish.
Ben was able to see if he could catch a crab at the Laccassine NWR...no luck though. Farther down the road he did get to watch a man catch some the same way...raw chicken at the end of string!
This was one of the many fires we built to roast marshmallows. It was Ben's first time and he loved them!
More crawfish--He was trying to peel them. He did a good job, but decided that it was easier to let me peel them and he would just stand there with his mouth wide open.
