It's Jimmer Time!

Since the Cougs made it to the Sweet Sixteen in New Orleans, and since it is only a short 7 hour drive from Little Rock, the Harris family just HAD to go and support their JIMMER!! Even though it was a tough lose for us, we are soooo glad we went! Madi and mommy (and even Micah in the corner) made the Salt Lake Tribune (online) with Madi and her friend, Jaycee's, "Jimmer, Will you be my first KISS?!" sign.

After the game, we tried to find some very kid things to do in a VERY ADULT town. We went on a swamp tour and were lucky enough to meet "Elvis" the alligator (apparently it is the wrong time of the year to go alligator hunting). Then next day, we went to the zoo, where Micah and Madi got to touch an elephant, a snake, and a turtle! Micah's favorite animal changes daily, but I will say, he was SOOOO excited when we turned the corner and he saw the Jaguars (baby jaguar on Diego is one of his favorite cartoon characters).

New Orleans will NOT make the Harris family's list of favorite places to go... It smells EVERYWHERE and not of anything good (throw-up, urine, and the like). It is dirty (in more ways than one), parking is expensive (unless you gamble half an hour at the casino) and staying on the ground floor of a very old downtown hotel makes for a very miserable night with three small children (really, can't everyone just keep it down a little?!?!?!!).

Sure wish we could have made it to the Elite Eight, but we are so proud of our COUGARS, and can't wait to watch Jimmer in the NBA!
