Louisiana Day 4 - A day with the Lowry’s
Posted on April 22nd, 2007 in General, Louisiana 2007, Vacations
This post reflects the date the entry took place. Because I was using a national wireless connection provided by work, I felt it more appropriate to enter these when I got home. As a result, this is being written on Sunday, April 29, 2007.
The day started out usual enough. Ok, that was dramatic, but it details the start of the day pretty well.
Today we planned a trip to Lafayette to visit my mother-in-law’s side of the family. This little shindig was a smaller gathering than yesterday, but was still a neat little meetup. We were finally able to meet the children in our kids’ generation, as well as spend some time with Sandi’s cousins that are her age. So, a brief family tree might look like this:
Royal & Ethyl Lowry
+- George & Dee Lowry
+- Lee & Bonnie (Lowry) Millet
+- Robert & Sandi (Millet) Gonzalez
+- Sarah, Rebekah, Adriannah, Alaynah and Aaron
+- Katie Millet
+- Steve & Pat (Lowry) Venetis
+- Chris & Tara Venetis
+- Conner and Cameron
+- Kevin & Jen (Venetis) Couvillon
+- Caroline and Katherine
+- Perry Lowry
+- George & Paula (Lowry) McRae
+- Jonathan McRae
+- Collin McRae
During this little get together we ate like savages. Uncle Steve barbecued some massive chicken pieces, plus we had beans, this rice and meat mixture, salad and appetizers. It was an awesome day complete with a bounce house for the kids. It was a little hot though, but that did not stop the kids from sweltering in the jump house.
Later on in the evening the cool wind came by and things got a lot cooler.
We went back to Grannies and began planning for the rest of the week. Since we are here for another five days, there are a few things that we want to try to get in, including a day to New Orleans and some eating of the Cajun goodness that is Southern Louisiana cuisine.
Stats: 4/42
