The Whatleys are off on another adventure, this time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! Watch out Lousiana.....the Whatleys are here! We decided to start a blog to keep track of our adventure and to let our friends and family know what we are up to! Enjoy!
Week 1: This was a slow week in the Whatley house. We are trying to unpack and to get adjusted to the new
house, a new neighborhood, a new city, and some crazy weather! I am thankful for the abundance of kids in our neighborhood! MV and JB have really been missing Birmingham and their friends, so when the girls from the down the street came over to play, the smiles on their faces were priceless! MV also has a new friend next door, Mason, and they have quickly become the best of friends (even if she calls him Hunter)! I am so happy that she has found a good friend! They spent all day Sunday playing in the sprinkler and pool in the hot Louisiana sun!

We were welcomed right away and they made us feel at home. MV and JB ran right into Children’s Church and joined in the fun! MV was invited to come to VBS this week and she is loving it! (Of course, it is not Vestavia Baptist, but what is?)
In talking with the kids this weekend, we decided that we were going to try to do something new each week/weekend that we might not have done if we were in Birmingham. Th
is week we took the kids to Bass Pro Shop. Now, I know we could do that in Birmingham, but each store is a little different and has it's own experiences. This store is amazing, the theme is water fowl! The kids loved looking at the fish tanks and ponds most of all.Now, for our new experience…we met a man in the store that had what we thought was his dog with him. As the kids were petting it and loving on it, we found out that it was a gray wolf pup (only 6 months old). He had rescued it from a shelter and was keeping it as a pet – right down to a pink collar and leash! Now, you know that is something you might not have seen before.
MV chose the next item on the list…she saw a sign for a “Bull Rodeo”. It looks like the Whatleys will be spending Saturday morning at the rodeo!
That's all for this week...tune in next week to find out about our latest adventure!
How exciting!!! Can't wait to come visit & see all your favorite places!
