"GEAUX WARRIORS"

This past Friday night we went to watch our nephew Eric play football! So We packed up the kiddo's and headed North to Amite, La to see the Warriors play the Tigers of Independence,La! The family was super excited to see our family who lives on the north shore! When we arrived at the stadium for the game Uncle Will was waiting for us With the tickets!! So while Rick went to find a parking spot, Will escorted the tribe into the stadium to meet up with the rest of the family. Ray was so excited to see the football players! Will was laughing so hard because Ray kept saying over and over again:"football"..."see football"! He also kept singing the L.S.U. fight song! HA HA He was a little confused being that both teams were purple and gold!!HA HA
Once we met up with the rest of the family, the children were really quite good! No regular "Mayeaux Family Issues"! HA HA Ava had a blast as well. She of course was interested in what she calls the "cheer girrrs"! Otherwise to you and me we call them cheerleaders! She was also fascinated by the halftime show with the bands and as she callls them the "dancin girrrs"!HA HA She actually befriended a lady that had pom poms! Somehow she convinced the nice lady to let her wave those pom poms!! She actually was trying to follow the routine from the stands!!! Super cute and a Super funny site to behold! Every time they would turn ...she would turn etc. She was quite serious about each movement...so focused!!HA HA The game was GREAT! The Mighty Warriors did taste victory in a 35-7win over the Tigers! We all certainly enjoyed seeing Eric play and Seeing our other nephew Brandon participate in the pre-game as a member of the JROTC! With all of that fun we were looking forward to that 53 minute ride back home! How wonderful it was going to be to have 3 beautiful children pass out due to stimulation overload!!HA HA But as you know this would not be a Mayeaux story without an incident!!!HA HA
After the game we wanted to stop and get a little snack and some drinks for the way home. With all of the drive-thru's in Amite so busy due to the game letting out, we decided to make the exectutive decision to go down the road to Hammond and stop there. Sounded good to us! Well we decided to stop at a McDonald's. Upon pulling into the Micky D's we see that the drive-thru line is rather busy...but how long can it take? It's fast food right? Well...43 minutes later we were making our order & 15 minues later we were trying to get our oder when the car in front of us broke down and had to be pushed out of the drive-thru. This was the first time I had ever seen someone walk up to the drive -thru window!!HA HA After getting everyone settled, we were headed off back to Norco!! A few minutes into the ride, we hear Ava from the backseat say "UH OH"! Not good folks!!!Little miss Ava Grace had a reaction to the red hot dog she ate earlier at the game..and threw-up everywhere!! So with no exit in site, we pull over the family truckster to "clean up"! While trying to take care of this mess Miss Emma Faye now decides that this would be a perfect opportunity to need to "go Pee"! HA HA Can It get anymore interesting? HA HA This is "The Mayeaux's"!Hold on tight , believe it or not...there's more!!Finally on the road after our Pitt stop, we were so excited to finally be on our way home! Not for long folks...all of a sudden all traffic comes to a complete halt. There was an accident with a car fire!!So finally we did arrive at our destination of Norco around 11:30 or so!! Needless to say we had three sleeping beauties upon our arrival to the Mayeaux estate! Enjoy the pics!
