The Russo's

The boys planted some seeds in tubs at the 4H meeting We had to go to Metairie to Carmel's Dance Wear for Gianna to get pointe shoes. She tried on over 10 pairs to find the best one.  She picked out a pair and was very excited about it. We (the parents) were not as excited about how much they cost.  The men went to the Band of Brother's conference in Biloxi from October 12-14th Jennifer brought the boys to BREC's catfish rodeo since the guys were at the conference. Both boys caught big fish. They caught 7 fish between them. And won raffle prizes Hudson won for biggest fish We went to Laplace for a tailgate with Little Gypsy  They had a fry truck with loaded french fries. It was very good!  Cadie's baby shower was on October 21st at Nana's house It was a very cute wilderness theme Cadie got a lot of goodies to get ready for the baby I sat with Aunt Janie and Anna  We are excited to meet baby Cason!  Watch day for the Ballet 3 and pointe class was on October ...

We went to Sun Outdoors in Ponchatoula for the Russo family vacation for a weekend on October 6th. It was also Cadie's 30th birthday.  We got there on Friday afternoon. The cabins were really cute and ours were on the water. The resort had a number of activities to do like pickle ball, putt putt, volleyball/basketball Josh was using his tools to get a fire started. The next night, we had to put the fire out since Louisiana was still in a burn ban.  The boys did some fishing, but didn't catch much  We rode bikes and things around the campground. Saturday we went to Sonic for lunch by the front of the property.  Hudson and Kaden rented kayaks  We sat by the pool area and ate ice cream from Sonic.
