Our neighborhood!

Last night we were going to take a walk with Rebound when we got home because the temperature outside was so "fall-like," meaning around 75 degrees...ha. We were first greeted with Rebound's friend Dax right outside our door. They were running around forever while we stood there and talked with our neighbors, Chad & Paula. We then decided to continue on our first idea, the walk. He was so excited! Rebound doesn't like the hot weather, so now that it's getting a little cooler, it much more comfortable for him. Along the way we talked with some more of our neighbors on a different street. Amanda played with one of her little boys and Rebound and Lezel (another doggie friend) played in mud puddles and seemed to have a wonderful time. So, around the corner we go and we meet our other neighbors who have 2 kids and a dog. Abbie, their little girl, absolutely adores Rebound. I have started a new tradition with her...we always come inside and get a cookie for Rebound. She continues to run around and get him to chase her before she gives him the cookie. It's really cute. They also have a dog named Barks, and his name matches exactly, because all he does is bark -- the kids named him :) More of our neighbors came out and we talked for a long time. Rebound got a bath and by the time we got inside...it turned out to be about an hour and half walk. It was such a great time talking with our neighbors. As we drove to go get dinner last night with our windows down...we just thought about how great our neighbors were and happy we were with our home here in New Orleans. Last night was one of those nights that didn't have anything big planned and nothing really happened, but it was one of the greatest nights here in this wonderful place!!!
