Despite Covid and all of our obstacles this last year we made it.   We hit 50 states before hitting 50. 

We sang the song from the kids elementary days.  Fifty nifty United States.  https://youtu.be/WhDrGnjacvA

A huge accomplishment and it feels amazing to have completed something so big.  Who would have known that an airline going out of business would be such an inspiration.   

We went to dinner at Gibbons fine dining in Shreveport and it was an excellent deal. Good food and everyone got what they wanted. Then stopped at the horseshoe casino.  John and I dropped some cash. Not much. And it was only me that lost and then wanted to spend his winnings.  Going to the exotic zoo in the morning then back to texas. 

8/14. Up in the morning and went to Gators and Friends outside Shreveport. We got there just in time for the feeding of the gators.   We got feed and went through the petting area.  They had kangaroos to feed as well as a zedonk. (Looked like a zebra but part donkey). There were miniature horses and Kates favorite a Highlander cow.  A couple of gokart rides and Then back to Texas.
