This past weekend my son and his wife had to travel to attend the annual Army Officer’s Ball in the northern part of our state.
We were so excited to get the chance to have all of our grandchildren for the weekend! Now what could be better than that?
The School of Agriculture at LSU had an “Ag Magic” hands on experience for children to teach them how important agriculture and animal husbandry was to our state. Anybody want to pet a roach?
It was an interactive environment that so the kids could see how the food and fiber products we use every day came from the forests, crops and livestock.
Many of the booths were sponsored by Louisiana farmers, ranchers and forest landowners. My sweet Karli just adores animals. So for her, this event was over the top!
They were also so excited to see and hold these adorable baby chicks, and they even got to see them hatching live in an incubator.
Of course, no event that taught about how important our forest are would be complete without “Smokey the Bear”.
Well, there wasn’t a chance for a cowgirl to ride a real horse, but you couldn’t tell it wasn’t real by the smile on Kayla’s cute little face.
And yes, even the pigs got a little love!
After we were finished we went to visit the LSU mascot, “Mike the Tiger” over by Tiger Stadium.
And the girls had fun doing some cheers for us.
If this was not enough, when we got back home they all wanted to go fishing.
The only problem was the fish were not biting!
It was the end of fun filled day, and beautiful memories we will always treasure.

What a great weekend! I bet Grandma's house is their favorite.
Oh! I love this so much. I am so glad you get to be their Grandma! You are so much fun and you just pour love into your grandbabies. You make me thankful for my Mom and the special relationship she has with her grandkids. It sounds like you had a perfect day together.
Wow that looks like fun! And Smokey the Bear! You got to meet Smokey the Bear! And a cow!
Praying right now.
Psalms 9:9-10 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Psalms 61:1-4 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Whatever the Lord allows to happen in your life, He'll get you through it! Praying so hard that all goes well!
2 Samuel 22:2-3, 7 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. (7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Lifting up prayers!
Psalms 145:14-18 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Praying!
Psalms 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
