New Orleans: The Eve

Woahhh!! Is their house in fire???

Nope. That's just how they do fireworks in New Orleans.

Big, Long & Local.

Big.... as in huge commercial brand style
Long.... as in all night long
and Local ....as in across the street!

Kate loved watching, but feel asleep before the shows all ended. (again, see above what long means). She crashed on the bed and when we went to check on her, we found her like this....

Apparently I should have also mentioned, they were LOUD!

Also a tradition on the eve, the game of Risk.
My first game.

Oh, and PS...
