A second before I snapped this picture the dinosaur roared.  We were not expecting it and Hugh Thomas was frightened.

A bonus for having children who make honor roll is that the TOPS program gives out membership cards to the Aquarium and NOMA to students.  We were able to go to the Aquarium.  Once again I count my blessings and thank my kids for their hard work!

This is one of my favorite churches in New Orleans  St. Patrick's Church is stunning.  I would love to see it at Christmas time.
