WOO HOO!!  Gators!!  Yes, it’s time to wrap up our little Louisiana adventure with the gator tour!  Ok, I’m really excited!

On our last day we drove to Slidell, Louisiana and met up with the fine folks at Cajun Encounters Tours. Which by the way, we highly recommend.  With sunblock and mosquito spray in hand, we boarded boats aptly named “Gator Bait” and took to the swamp.  It was quite an adventure.  We were excited about finding gators.  The gators were excited about hotdogs and marshmallows.  A drunk lady tried to “call the gator over” by shaking her hand over the edge of the boat.  Yes, little Spicy (that’s what our captain called him) was quite excited.  Bummer, Spicy didn’t get a handout.

This post also features the first ever video taken with one of our 5D Mark 2 cameras.  Yes,  I finally took the time to learn how to use this fun feature but I still need to figure out how to export and keep the video in HD (or just better quality, because it looks better than what shows up right now.) This was also my first time to play with iMovie to edit the video and add music.  Too much fun!  I have a feeling we’ll be sharing lots more videos of our crazy adventures as well as Bella Pop behind the scenes.  Woot!

Spicy!!

My favorite picture.  Ever.  Spicy was so excited about that hotdog, his tail is sticking out of the water.  Reminds me of Tick-Toc in Disney’s Peter Pan.  (Love Tick-Toc!)
