Last Minute Trip!

We decided late Friday morning that it would be fun to take off and head South to Austin/San Antonio. I booked a hotel room in Austin at the Hyatt and we hit the road around 2:30. We got to Austin just in time to see the thousands of bats flying over the bridges... soo cool! Caroline of course loves bats.... We stayed up late, had snacks, jumped on the beds and watched part of a movie. We woke up that next morning to an amazing breakfast buffet at the hotel and then went and met our friends Grant, Sully and Stella at Barton Springs. The water of course was extremely cold but the kids loved playing in the shallow water, hiking, climbing and eating ice cream. Late that afternoon we drove to San Antonio and met Joey, Kristina and the kids for dinner and play time. Sunday we went to kiddie park, which is a 1940's carnival ride type of place where the kids could ride as many times and rides as they wanted for a CHEAP $11. This was Caroline's first time to ride something by herself. She of course loved every minute of it! She was a little scared of the boats (for whatever reason) and finally decided to ride them when we told her how proud Uncle "B" would be if she rode them... she of course jumped right on and smiled the whole time. Later that night we got to play with the entire gang (Unlce Mike, Aunt Krystal, Uncle Brad, Aunt Erika, Brooke, Olivia, Uncle Joey, Aunt Kristina, Gabe and Bella). We hit the road Monday morning and came home to a cool 86 degrees in Dallas. Fall here we come...
