Road Trip Part 2: Bayou in Louisiana Boot

After a night in New Orleans, we spent 2 nights/3 days down on the Louisiana Boot with some friends at thier house on Lake Cathrine.  It was awesome, we went tubing on the bayou, crabbing, learned about shrimping and gator hunting.

We tied up and got on board, they were friends of Pat & Adrian's 
Shrimp Nets 
 
 
We caught crabs, shrimp, fish and sting rays in the crab nets 
 
 
 
Fishing on the dock at Pat's house 
I caught a fish!! 
Mom caught 2 on one line! 
 
Sharon caught the elusive bottom fish 
out in front of Pat's house

Mom went tubing 
 
about 50 feet from where we were looking for gators 
 
 
Rubble from Katrina, they just build over it 
We learned how to run the crabs, then we learned how to cook & eat them 
It took me a while to get over the  guilt of pushing the crabs back into the water 
Sharon likes to play with her food
