The Big Easy

I wish Madison had a cool name like "The Big Easy." 

We recently headed down with my parents and the kids, no, not to see a Saints game, not to see Madonna live in concert, no way bigger. The Fresh Beat Band. If you haven't seen them, just turn on Nickelodeon one afternoon. You probably can't take more than a few minutes of it... Brad has declared the show the absolutely most annoying acting on television. But, naturally, the kids think they are rock stars. So for JB's 6th birthday, we gave JB tickets as her main gift. The problem was, that they had to wait 3 months to see the concert, and by then, JB really didn't care about it half as much as they did when she first heard about it. But Beckham faithfully asked every morning, afternoon, evening before bed, if today was the day. 

Finally it came. A Big Easy thanks to my parents for coming along to be some extra hands... that job was definitely NOT always easy... Here's the story:

Headed to breakfast - Beignets!




Before we ate, while the boys stood in line for a table, the kids walked across to the square and got their faces painted.... 





After breakfast we headed to the NO zoo for the afternoon. None of us had ever been, and it's a pretty great place!





B hitched a ride for some of the walk...


Grandaddy took a time out...


Brooke joined him...





Some of our great friends met us for the concert! We had a blast!
