Travel Week #20 Year #2 (11/14-11/20) Natchitoches, LA (pronounced Nack-a-tish)
Second relaxing week at our favorite campground (Grand Ecore).
Campfire using our new favorite, fudge stripe cookies to make s’mores.
Ladybug Invasion! Even a month later, they are still coming out.
Trying a Crawfish Ettoufee recipe, it was pretty good.
Going out to see the Christmas lights along the Cane River Lake.
Taking time to get school pictures taken.
Making a travel day back to MS.
First time we’ve seen one of these stickers at a fuel pump. Prices are definitely going up!
Two sets of kids! Having fun with panoramic pictures.
We have learned that using Fudge Stripe cookies instead of graham crackers and chocolate bars are the BEST way to make s’mores.
Catching a picture of the moon over the camper. Nice to have dark skies overhead.
Lady bug invasion! We tried to catch and release them outside…
Way too many ladybugs everywhere!
I never thought I’d hate having ladybugs around! Three weeks later and they are still crawling around. (We have since learned that they are an Asian beetle that stinks really bad when squished.)
I made Crawfish Ettoufee since we were in LA.
We love the large campsites at Grand Ecore.

Christmas lights in Natchitoches. They promote it as being the second largest light display after NYC.
Serving as a model to demonstrate backgrounds for the annual school pictures photo shoot.
How I let Doug know that I’m ready to stop being the model.
This is the dentist office that I took Munchlax to when he broke his tooth last April.
PsyDoug got a chance to go to the gun range nearby. Munchlax wanted to know what it looked like.
