Anxiously waiting to meet you are Uncle Arnel, Aunt Cherie and their niece, Marie.

Uncle Arnel is a kind hearted, hard worker who enjoys having fun. He loves meandering through the numerous bayou and swamp waterways in his pirogue. Uncle Arnel is an accomplished musician playing his accordion whenever he can.

Aunt Cherie is loving, happy, content and takes pride in preparing a feast of a meal for her family. She can usually be found in the kitchen wearing her apron and is always ready to dance whenever Uncle Arnel pulls out his accordion.

Marie, the storyteller, is outgoing, confident and happy. She loves her swamp excursions with Uncle Arnel. Marie is always ready with her fiddle when Uncle Arnel pulls out his accordion.

Marie, Uncle Arnel and Aunt Cherie's home sits on a bayou bank with their front porch overlooking the bayou. There is a pier jetting over the water where Uncle Arnel’s pirogue is tied and ready for their next outing.

Read about the "Petite Cajuns" as Marie shares her family's exciting adventures in the swamps of Louisiana.
