New Orleans is known for its carnival spirit, and in the last 24 hours we've definitely indulged. Here are some of the goings-on of the last day:

Last night instead of vespers, the adults surprised the youth with a giant ice cream sundae (made in a 5-foot gutter, in honor of our construction work). We also had lots of games--a slip'n slide, badminton, volleyball, and lots of other stuff.

As things happen, though, it devolved. Before long we ended up in an epic ice cream/cake/water fight. The results largely went un-photographed, since it was dark, but this will give you an idea.

Slipp'n and slid'n.

Tonight, we took the whole crew down to the French Quarter (our afternoon trip got rained out).

We started out at Cafe du Monde, where we showed our strength....

....posed for peace....

....just posed....




....did some shopping....

....walked by the Mississippi river....

....and in the end, circled up to sing a few verses of "As I Went Down To The River To Pray" before calling it a night.
