Boating on the Tchfuncte River

Last weekend we took some of our grandchildren boating on the Tchfuncte River in South Louisiana. It is a beautiful river that flows into Lake Pontchartrain by New Orleans. The kids had great fun riding in the boat

and hanging onto the inflated tube while the boat pulled them.

 We stopped awhile and let them swim in Lake Pontchartrain. They all had their life jackets on like diapers so the could float better. Got a picture of them "Bottoms Up"

DIL had a good time too.

Son and granddaughter tried their feet at skiing. Both got up. Husband even tried and got out of the water...pretty good for an old man.

We saw a few alligators lurking around some of the tributaries of the river, but none where we were.

I'm BAAAACK!

Gonna try this blogging thing again. Been really busy this summer gardening and canning and vacationing. It's been one HOT summer so far and doesn't look like anything is gonna change soon. Temps in the high 90's and heat indices in the 110's to 115's. Have to admit, I haven't been out to the garden since middle of June....just can't take that awful heat.
All the chickens are gone....something ate them when we took a trip out to the Grand Canyon in June with my son and his family. So we are out of the chicken business for a while, husband is happy about that.

These are pictures of my 2 friends....June Tune (yellow) and Tar Baby (black). It's been so hot, husband has let me keep them inside when I am home. They think they are in heaven. Cooking red beans and rice today a Monday tradition here in the south.
