I was not napping much this last weekend as I've been on a trip up the Mississippi with the Cat Scouts. I do get around :) It was very ably organised by good buddy Sammy of One Spoiled Cat
First of all I met my buddy and roomie Spitty at Vicksburg airport. It was a bit nip and tuck whether we would even find each other as he was flying in from the west coast and I hitched a lift across the Atlantic on a passing Portuguese man o' war. I was misled about the type of vessel it was! I asked the waiter for a Stinger. Maybe I was unwise!
Anyway, here we are looking dapper at the airport.
Here is our boat to take our trip down the river!
(I shall say river from now on as typing Misisissisissippispi is a bit of a chore)
Ok, just kidding!
Here we are channelling the Blues Brothers on our way
to check out the girls facilities before dinner
This was our luxury cabin
Then we reached some kind of swampy place with tents!!!!!
So we booked a cabin
And then all the Cat Scouts told each other scary stories around the campfire
about monsters in the dark!
I wore my Yogi Bear onesie!
The next day we packed to go home (well, some of us!)
We collected together our souvenirs
It was great fun!
The End
These were only some of the highlights. If you want to see more of the trip and the other stuff we get up to, then you should join Cat Scouts. All (well-behaved) kitties are welcome!
=^,,^=
Today we have a guest worder!
This definition comes from the delectable Miss Nylablue :)
Thank you and take it away .....
Diphthong: What a purrson wearz to go swimmin in

and I missed all the FUN just because my mom-person was working all weekend and when she didn´t work she picked Black Berries :(

Nylablue hit it out of the park with that definition! Good post about our great trip. You were very smart to add "well behaved" to the kitties welcome at Cat Scouts. Don't want any of those hooligans like we used to have. Purrs, Mau and XO, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteThat looked like a great trip on the Ol'Mississippi!

Austin, it sure was a lot of fun having you along on this trip. And the Quest will be even more fun! ~Wally
ReplyDeleteP.s. I wanted to thank you for reading our interview. :)
ReplyDeleteHey--You can forget all that "well-behaved" part. *WE* went, didn't we? Ha ha ha meow! Loved the retrospective on our trip ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun trip you had with the scouts Austin,xx SPeedy
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip Austin and great pix. Glad you had so much fun. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly.
What a fun trip you guys had! Did you guys make burgers with Spitty's present to his Human? ;)
ReplyDeleteSampson had the best time on the Bayou trip! He thinks you and Spitty are hilarious. We all MOL'd at that photo of your souvenir alligator! Too funny. Glad you were on the trip, Austin!
ReplyDeleteP.S. We have nominated you for a few awards over on our Thankful Thursday post today!
So much fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an AMAZIN' time.
ReplyDeleteThat riverboat was fantastic. Bet it was a lot better than the uh... um... 'vessel' upon which you travelled to the US, huh?
Might I suggest teleportin' on your way home?
Purrs,
Nissy #Niss4Senate - tell the PM, today.
I bet you two boys had a blast together Austin! Surprised you made it home in one piece :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time!
Marty

ReplyDeleteI should get June Buggie to join Cat Scouts.... and maybe when he's gone on trips, I can get some rest!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip! You looked so handsome all dressed up.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm still smiling.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was marvelous! What fun - thank you for sharing! Purrs from the Zee and Zoey Gang!

That was quite an adventure!!! ...so Austin, what kind of "vessel" did you take to go home??? haha!
ReplyDeleteI bet you two didn't know that we live right by Mrs. Hippy. You could have taken that paddleboat north and docked at the townhouse!
; ) Katie
OMC, this is way more luxe than Sammy's camping trip last year. Odin would make an excellent scout but mom is already working 80 weeks. Meanwhile, come see how he spends his time.
ReplyDeleteLove this post, such fun pics of your adventure...that's an awesome Yogi Bear onesie! Nifty backpack too!
