This past week I was looking up festivals in the area and found out that the Andouille Festival was this weekend, in LaPlace. I remember wanting to go last year but we were in the middle of Lilly’s recovery from her surgery. So this year I did some research and found out they have a 2 mile or 5 mile race on the last day! Despite being pregnant I am still running (with the OK from my OB of course), in efforts to stay in shape and possible have an easier labor (wishful thinking, wishful thinking!). This morning Lilly, Demo Deux and myself woke up bright and early and decided to concur the 32nd Andouille Run!
We got there early enough to pose with Miss Andouille 2010, both of them!
Lilly needed to stretch her legs after a long ride in the jogging stroller, and danced to the band as they were warming up.
After the run, we met up with Mimi at our house and went back to the festival once all of the booths opened up. Lilly was interested in the big stuffed Scooby Doo that the humane society was raffling off so of course Mimi entered her in the raffle, my fingers are crossed that a family who needs a 3 foot tall scooby doo wins, because we sure don’t! We also had some great Louisiana food, jambalaya with andouille sausage, boudin balls and bread pudding. Lilly wasn’t very happy with the Cajun selection and only wanted “fry fries” (french fries).
After our long morning Lilly and I came home and both took a nice long nap. Daddy got a little lonely around 4:00 and went to get Lilly up, but not before he snapped some very cute pictures of our baby sleeping! She rarely sleeps through her bedroom door opening, let alone the flash on the camera multiple times, she must have been very sleepy! After the photo session Daddy got Lilly up, then let her wake me up. I woke up to Lilly running at me full speed yelling, “momma, momma” and making kissy noises!
