After Mass, we attended our parish picnic and carnival. Our son got to go on some fun rides, play some carnival games, and we all had some good barbeque chicken for lunch. We saw a taekwondo demonstration, which was especially interesting as the taekwondo program at our son's school will likely be disappearing over the next two years. Snow cones were the order of the day, lime for Duane and I and "rainbow" for our son. I got a lot of walking in!
This evening, we all went to the Poor House Bistro for dinner, which was a benefit for our Team in Training teammate Tara. Mentors Bowman and Deb were also there. The Poor House Bistro serves a wonderful selection of Cajun/New Orleans style food. I had a wonderful dinner of Cajun Crawfish pasta, and Duane had the Jambalaya. We also sampled the sweet potato fries (with cinammon sugar), the beignet (a hot pastry covered in powdered sugar), and the bread pudding. I'm not really a fan of bread pudding, but this one was quite honestly delicious!
Another of our teammates, Karen, was playing the violin as part of a zaydeco-ish band for the evening's entertainment. It was fun to hear her play and Duane was especially interested in how the fingering and bowing of the violin is different for this kind of music.
We had much fun and we were glad to help our teammate raise money, but it was nice to be home again after such a busy weekend!
