Austin!

In March, Todd had a conference to attend for work in Austin, so we tagged along!

Unfortunately, all the things I thought would be fun to do with the kids were closed on Monday, but the hotel did have a pool!  We had it all to ourselves.  :)
We were, however, unprepared, so we had to hunt down some suits at an Old Navy, and grabbed some picnic fixings at a nearby Whole Foods.

I think she was dipping the strawberry in barbecue sauce.  Um, OK..

Later, they found a great spot to play video games.  :P

Our first Austin bat encounter!  We were a little late, though.  Still fun!

On our way home, we got stuck behind a home.  We couldn't believe someone had the nerve to move something this enormous!  It was a bit scary at times - the driver wasn't letting any moss grow on his tires, and sometimes shingles were blowing off the roof!  We were quite relieved when we finally got past it.

We planned a fun stop at Dinosaur Valley State Park on the way home.
