Trip To Baton Rouge

In Baton Rouge Cora played with 2 legged and 4 legged friends. She jumped on the trampoline and swam in the pool. [Physical Education] She tried many different flavors of snowballs because we went almost every day. 

New Capitol Building

Cora learned a little about Louisiana History. She saw where Huey P. Long died in the "New Capitol Building." From the observation deck she could see the Mississippi River winding around. [Social Studies]

There are 50 steps that lead up to the capitol. One for each state engraved with the state name and admission year. [Social Studies]

Baby Gators

Was it Shakespear who said, "sometimes you just have to stop and smell the baby gators?" LOL. We saw the sign and were pleasantly surprised to find such a lovely habitat of baby alligators. [Science]
