Bayou Boogaloo

The Boogaloo!

Last weekend was the Bayou Boogaloo. Curt and I live in the American Can, which is a converted can manufacturing plant that is on the Bayou. I had seen signs for the Boogaloo all week, but had no idea what a “Boogaloo” was. Starting Firday night into late Sunday the Boogaloo rocked on the Bayou! Amazing music! Yummy food! Beautiful Art! I even got Curt up and dancing on the grass 

As I continue to try and make a home in my new town I’m continually struck by little heart warming soul crumbs I find God leaves for me. Little moments where I don’t feel so alone and new, but instead, like Hansel and Gretel I find a little crumb that comforts my heart confirming that I am indeed on the right path. Well the Boogaloo was more than a crumb, it was like a big bowl of Jesus Gumbo!

Everybody was boogalooin!

 

Thumbs Up!

They even had a rubber duckey race in the bayou to raise money to end poverty!

Soon to be Mr. and Mrs. :)

Can’t wait for next years Boogaloo!!  One of our favorite artists we found at the event does some amazing photography. Check them out www.swampdogandfriends.com :) The bulldog is awesome. 

Another thing I’ve learned is NOLA isn’t shy about festivals! This weekend is “Sip and Saavor” food and wine festival…not kind on a brides diet, but promises to be crazy yummy!
