After a relaxing morning and checking out of the Hilton, we did a little shopping and had an after-lunch nap in preparation for the theme park tonight!  We picked up Fred early from work and drove about an hour to Baton Rouge to the Blue Bayou theme park where we were admitted for reduced prices after 6pm.  Poppy absolutely loved the rides and could have done them all again and again.  Fred and I wondered how we lost our roller coaster mojo since we were both feeling dizzy and sick after some of them!  Home late so no swim, just a bath tonight before crashing.

Reflecting tonight on spending so much time with Poppy and realising we haven’t spent a minute apart this whole trip….. Our relationship has a flow that is working really well whilst travelling and Poppy is such a flexible and generally happy wee girl.  Because of this blog, most people meeting her for the first time feel as if they know her and have watched her grow up… she sees them as a stranger though!  It’s been a full-on social time for her and she is coping really well.
