Before we got into the full Texas summer heat Mommy decided it would be fun to take the kids to the zoo to check out the newly renovated giraffe exhibit. The highlight of the new exhibit was the chance to feed the giraffes. Luckily the giraffes were hungry and all the kids got the chance to feed them leaves. The kids all declared that the giraffes were the highlight of the trip. followed closely the little birds you could feed with sticks.
The big event of the weekend was a trip to Austin to celebrate Dave and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary. When we got to Austin we met up with our friend Jamie, and after a great lunch we stopped by her house to chat and pick peaches.
After that we checked in at the hotel, got dressed, and headed to the anniversary party. It was a lot of fun, both for the adults and the kids. The kids got to play, draw, and make art at a long table setup just for them. Adults got to chat with the big family group that doesn’t often get together. Congrats Dave and Shirley!!
We had some free time the following morning before brunch and the kids decided a swim in the hotel pool would be a good way to spend it. It was good to work out the energy, because after brunch with the Wolfe family we had a three hour car ride ahead of us. It was a fun weekend, although after two weekends of traveling we’re looking forward to some time back home.
