Family History

Hey everybody, Clay writing here. We had a great time in New Iberia and took our time making the way to Lafayette, where my mom's family is from. Lots of great sights along the way. Check out the video below.



We're in Lafayette now. We went to church with my cousin Kerrie where she and her family have been going for the last few years, ate some lunch with all the family, then did a little driving around Lafayette to see some more history - my mom's old house, some rent houses where my mom and dad lived throughout college, the college campus where they went (including the swamp with alligators - seriously), the cool church where they got married, Borden's (cool little ice cream shop and home of a great milk shake), Gerard Park where we fed the ducks and nutria, then rounded out the day with a great dinner at Alesi Pizza with Nanny, Uncle Mel, Aunt Cella, Greg and Angie. It was a really fun day getting to see a little more history and spending time with family.

Tomorrow before we head back to Tomball we're going to take a tour of the Tabasco plant. Should be cool. Hopefully we'll have some pictures of that up soon. So long from LA.

Hey guys!

I'm so glad we had a chance to hang out with you guys, at least for a little while. Oh, and thank you for taking Mike to see "Batman" so I wouldn't have to sit through it!

Take care you guys and let us know how the training goes in Sept. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers!
