Salado-Spring

Caleb, my dad and Bill went fishing the first part of spring break (and caught a ton). So I took the girls to Salado. March is rivaling October's pumpkin patches for tons of outdoor fun and photo shoots!

We spent lots of time outside in the backyard: looking at flowers, playing hide & seek, finger painting and swinging.

(Gloria with Rosie, she was quite sad when Rosie won't stay still and be petted)

Zilker again!

A week and half after going to Zilker we went again with some church friends. More playground, statue climbing, picnic and Caleb rode the train this time. Then our friends left and we walked down the path to the duck area of the creek. Well since there were a billion people there feeding the ducks, the ducks were not hungry but we threw the bread anyway. We counted 13 dogs on our walk back to the car-Gloria, who got lots of awwwws with her tutu, wanted to pat all of them!

Another fun sunny spring day!

Arboretum

We drove home from Salado via our Taiwanese friend Remy's home and the Arboretum for a playdate. First was a packed story time at Barnes & Nobles, then picnic by the cows, an Austin tradition. When I told Gloria that Scott (first on cow) was going to be there she said-he likes to hug me, remember a time at another party!

Zilker

After a late start, a friend and I took our Moroccan friends to Zilker park, we had a picnic, played on the playground and statues. I almost lost Lydia on the playground (and was about to go around with Gloria asking if anyone had seen a four year old dressed like this) but she finally came up running to me. We also rode the train (sleeping baby Adam & Pam stayed behind)!

Mardi Gras

2nd annual Fat Tuesday celebrate at our neighbor's. The masks made it another year. There were at least six kinds of rice, bean &/or sausage dishes-yummy, a king cake, Princess & the Frog on tv and lots of friends!

Dancing the Night away

Kyle's Wedding!

We traveled to Arlington to stay at Carrie's for cousin Kyle's wedding to Michelle. It was the first wedding for the girls to go too and they did great during the 15 minute ceremony. They loved dressing up, the food, music (including mariachi band), dancing, family and cake. We even last until 10:30 pm. Then stayed with Carrie and went to church with them the next morning. Fun weekend!
