Ok.. Katie’s back… Well it’s been almost 24 hours since I wrote last… It was another amazing day down here in New Orleans. Last night after our tour of New Orleans with Carolyn we came down to the bayou and the kids saw for the first time where we would be staying. Even though I was here back in February, the site of the water and the surrounding totally took my breath away! We met Freddie (Carolyn’s brother) – who owns Destination Delecroix (our home while here). He showed us our living quarters and then invited us to his friend’s place across the street and above a boat dock to watch the sunset. The view from his deck was absolutely incredible! Everything was so peaceful and serene. We all stood on the deck and watched the sunset, it was amazing!
Kevin and Chris each brought their fishing rods and starting to do some fishing. They started out using hot dogs and then were given some shrimp to use as bate! Well that’s what the fish down here really wanted!! Once we started using shrimp Kevin (Goofy as Chris calls him) caught a catfish. Chris unhooked it and threw it back. We then decided that we would try to catch a couple to gut and eat! Well Kevin was able to catch two more which Chris gutted and we will probably eat tonight! Oh, Chris let me fish and on my first cast I caught an albino catfish!! It was so cool! I haven’t really been fishin’ since I was about 12. I have to echo Julie’s remarks about this group of kids. WOW! The more I talk with them and get to know them the more I am blown away! These kids – well young adults really – are amazing! The insites that they have and the compassion make me really proud! These kids are always asking what they can do to help and they do it with a smile and a complete sense of grace. I am very honored and blessed that I am able to share this week with them!
Well Carolyn just pulled up, so I’m gonna see what she is up to! More to come later!
