Mike

On Friday we embarked on what proved to be the longest trip to NOLA ever.  It took over 9 hours as we came to three separate stand-still stops on the interstate.  I was ready to go CRAZY!

So, while sitting on I-10 east bound just west of Baton Rouge, you would expect the Logan melt downs to start.   But instead he was completely happy and entertained.  He was pointing out the water towers, the boats, the bridge, and the buildings.  You would think he would be exhausted and screaming for milk during this witching hour.  Even Catherine, who was breaking in a new car seat, was content.

This is when I realized it is coursing through their veins.  What you might ask?

The absolute passion for all things LSU (which apparently includes Baton Rouge traffic).

Brian’s traffic diversion took us down Nicholson and through campus providing a much needed final break to get the kiddos into the final stretch.  A quick visit to Mike the Tiger’s spacious habitat was just the thing this tired group needed.  Mike’s romping and swimming got Logan running between each window and roaring like a tiger trying to get Mike’s attention.  Catherine would have pulled the cage down if she was able to do so; she wanted to pet the big cat. 

Winston did not.
