Babur was a descendant from Genghis Khan. Babur was banished from his homeland by a rival ruler. He heard a sultan conquered the city of Delhi so he wanted it for himself. He attacked the city of Delhi. He attacked with 12,000 horse riders armed with muskets. The sultan defended with 100,000 men and 1,000 war elepants. Although outnumbered, Babur won with his fast horses and muskets. Then during Babur's reign over the city of Delhi, he made a garden. He called it the&lt;em&gt; garden of scattered flowers&lt;/em&gt;. The Indians called the garden &lt;em&gt;ram bagh.&lt;/em&gt; He fed the garden with a water wheel. You can still see the remains of the garden in the city of Agra in India.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30719101-115405752481960383?l=pitrefamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/feeds/115405752481960383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30719101&amp;postID=115405752481960383' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115405752481960383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115405752481960383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/2006/07/learning-about-moghul-dynasty.html' title='Learning about the Moghul Dynasty'/><author><name>Matthew</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719101.post-115404326874800433</id><published>2006-07-27T17:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-08-01T08:38:07.703-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Heidi's first BLog Post</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7229/3433/1600/IMGA0060.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7229/3433/200/IMGA0060.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I love puppies. They are so cute. They are my favorite animals in the whole world. I used to have a puppy named &lt;strong&gt;Ami&lt;/strong&gt;. Ami was a miniature Dachshund. I loved her very much. She was my friend. I miss her very much. I wish I could see her again. I had another puppy and he's now a year and a half old dog.

'Tit Frere is a German Rottweiler. He is so crazy. He runs into the walls. He's so tall he can almost touch my big brother's head. I love him very much even though he's crazy. He is so funny. We play games with him. He won't give back the frizzby. He wants to jump on the trampoline with us sometimes. My dog likes playing with the cats but the cats always win. My dog likes to go in our lake. Sometimes, my dog falls in the pool. He shakes when he gets out of the pool and gets everyone wet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30719101-115404326874800433?l=pitrefamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/feeds/115404326874800433/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30719101&amp;postID=115404326874800433' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115404326874800433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115404326874800433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/2006/07/heidis-first-blog-post.html' title='Heidi&apos;s first BLog Post'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02392930221357269601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719101.post-115380853851700453</id><published>2006-07-24T23:49:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-29T12:12:43.483-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Catching Crabs at Johnson's Bayou</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/CIMG1561.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/320/CIMG1561.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A couple of weeks ago, Heidi, Alain, Camille and Myself along with friends and family took a day trip to the Holly Beach&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/Blue-Crab.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/200/Blue-Crab.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and Johnson's Bayou areas. Loaded down and prepared for a full day of catching blue crabs, we left home with a sense of adventure and great expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our 'crabbing' adventure did not end up to be very fruitful (as most crabs were very small). However, all of us had a good time. Nolan and Camille started off a little fearful and apprenhensive about being close to water and buckets that had these very angry, armored creatures with very strong and sharp claws vying&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/CIMG1565.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="The Great White Hunter" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/320/CIMG1565.jpg" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to be the first to pinch their succulent little fingers. As the day wore on, both were desensitized by such boldness of these orange and blue crustaceans, and thought little of other potential predators lurking in the waters below (Al E. Gator, as I recall, was swimming right under the pier we were fishing off.) Heidi, Grace and Alain took to the task of catching crabs like old pros -- baiting the lines, pulling in the fiesty crabs and wielding dip nets to snatch the rascals up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around midday, we decided to go to the beach to cool off. Suprisingly for Cameron Parish, the water was clear and we did not feel any mud between our toes. Rusty and I both agreed that the &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/CIMG1574.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/320/CIMG1574.jpg" align="left" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;beach and waters were pleasant and that we would consider bringing the kids here again. The 'Cajun Riveria', either through current changes or Hurricane Rita's influence, had sure come a long way from what I remember as a teen and early college student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The little ones had plenty of activities to keep their interests high. At the beach, there was wading and swimming, sand castles and the obligatory 'sand-in-the-pants'. Crab catching and crab prodding in the buckets was fun. Laura's friend, Matt, brought a cast net that kept Alain and the others in &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/CIMG1571.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/320/CIMG1571.jpg" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;awe wondering what type of fish or creature the next cast would produce. Checking out Al E. Gator and wondering where he was planning to pop up next kept everyone maintaining an alert and watchful eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following day, we decided to boil the crabs with shrimp (we 'acquired' on the way home), corn, onions and potatoes. To make the meal go further, Louis made a courtbouillion with catfish and alligator gar (caught by Matt during on trip). Good eats were had by all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/210/2655/1600/CIMG1565.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30719101-115380853851700453?l=pitrefamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/feeds/115380853851700453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30719101&amp;postID=115380853851700453' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115380853851700453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30719101/posts/default/115380853851700453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pitrefamily.blogspot.com/2006/07/catching-crabs-at-johnsons-bayou.html' title='Catching Crabs at Johnson&apos;s Bayou'/><author><name>Lance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10606298801190228724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.hotboudin.com/images/lance.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
