You mean I get to ride on that airplane?
5-4-3-2-1 blast off! (Yes, it’s dark outside. That’s because we woke up and got onto the airplane before the sun rose!!!)
Uncle Nathan and Cousin Aby picked us up at the Dallas airport. This is what two 4.5 yeard olds look like in the back seat of a car heading north…
to Oklahoma City. We did a great job in the car…with only a few parental shushes and one stop for a game of soccer tag.
We stayed at Mama’s grandma’s house while visiting Oklahoma. We were so excited to see toys. Everyone kept telling us that the legos and books she has have passed through the hands of the many. We were so excited to be next! Thank you Grandma for keeping these around!
The weather was amazing in OKC. Mama and I pulled out the shorts for our trip. I have not been able to wear shorts for weeks!
I’m sure there’s a winter storm coming…it says so on my camera…
After 2 days visiting with family in OKC we headed south again, back to the Lone Star state. (I’m sure they play bass here in TX too!)
We met up with Aunt Tammy and her boyfriend, Stephen, in Fort Worth and stayed one night there. Mama and Uncle Nathan stayed up late chit-chatting while Aby and I were sleeping, but that was okay. When we woke up the next morning we met Aunt Tammy and Stephen at the Forth Worth zoo…and I swear…it was the best zoo I’ve ever been to! Check out this chimp checking us out!
I like the flamingos too. I was showing Aunt Tammy how I can stand on one leg too. I’m sure she was impressed. The cool thing about this zoo was getting to see all of the animals that think WI is too darn cold.
Hmmm…I wonder where we should go next? I haven’t seen Zebras or Baboon’s before…let’s start there!
We also had to make a stop at the famous “Braum’s”. Can you believe they don’t even offer milk or juice with their kids meals? It’s pop only! I’ve never heard of such a thing! Thank you for such a fun day Aunt Tammy and Stephen!
Uhm, yes. Uncle Nathan and Mama stopped the car on our way to Austin for a break to eat ice cream. And, yes, this is what happens to kids that have been stuck in a car and then eat ice cream. Pandemonium!!!
After a rather long period of ‘quiet time’ in the car (after our ice cream visit) we finally arrived in Austin…just in time to have dinner at an awesome outdoor restaurant (called Oasis) on Lake Travis at sunset.
There it goes…down beyond the horizon. At the restaurant they even rang a bell to tell us exactly when the sun set. How cool was that?
Check out Aby’s hair!
Can my hair do that too?
The dinner and sunset were so great…I think all that’s left is a trip to the moon! What a night!
Aby and I had a really good time being as silly as possible in her bedroom. Cousin Aby was wearing a shirt that meowed and I think we might have run the battery down! meow!
Check out Austin’s capitol building. It looks a lot like Madison’s…except our lady on top is shiny gold.
Who knew capitol buildings could be so much fun?
We put on our best presidential faces…how did we do?
We keep seeing these signs everywhere, but Austin didn’t seem weird to us at all. Hmm…maybe that means we’re weird too!
Well, this guitar on the side of the road is kind of weird…but I think it’s really cool. Well, this is about all that’s going to fit in this post, but there is more to cover. Mama took over 700 pictures so I’m sure you can understand how hard it is to choose the best ones! Coming up in our next post we’ll have pictures of fog, a very unusual helmet, irish dancing, soccer and maybe even a few smiles and (don’t look Terese, Stephen and Aunt Tammy) “HORNS”!!! The next post will be up soon…so don’t forget to check back!
