Don't Mess With Texas......(or Two-Year Olds on Airplanes)

As most of you know we visited Mike, Kim and Megan in Austin last week. It was a great trip with LOTS of eating, site seeing, eating, playing, eating, RISK, eating, visiting old friends and eating!!

This is a picture of Isaac riding Megan's trike in her room...but please notice the huge "barnacle" on his forehead! Yes, just 15 minutes before we left to the airport to Austin Isaac rode his trike down the driveway full-speed and crashed at the bottom. He managed to ONLY get hurt on his forehead, no other scrapes and scratches on his body. He had a HUGE goose-egg and red scab the entire day as we traveled and we got lots of comments.

Isaac playing at Inks Lake. We also enjoyed a fun canoe trip, with the boys providing all the man power and the rest of us eating and enjoying the scenery.
The gang ready for the Train Ride at Zilker Park. Megan loved it and Isaac whined the whole time (he was too tired).

Megan playing with the stroller and wearing Jared's tie! The stroller was the favorite toy during the trip. Here is Isaac also playing with the stroller. I bet Mike and Kim's downstairs neighbors were glad to see us leave!!
A BEAUTIFUL view of Lake Austin. We also picked out a great "little" house right on the lake with a private dock for your ski boat. I am just waiting for Jared to master this whole "trading gig" and then I am told we can buy it. As mentioned before....see what LOTS of eating does to your mid-line (wow what a gut I have.....hee, hee).


We really had a GREAT time, unfortunately, Isaac also got alittle worn out on the trip. As the title suggests the plane ride home was a bit "rocky" for all involved. Next time we are considering flying Isaac all over (we had TOO MANY stops) we will have to decide if a 5 to 10 minute melt down with screaming and kicking the man's seat in front of us is worth it....as for Austin, YES it was! Thanks Mike, Kim and Megan!!!

PS.....This is cute picture of Isaac mowing the lawn with Jared. This was the day before we left on the trip. Jared was outside mowing the lawn and Isaac was playing. Then Isaac ran next door and got Jace's lawn mower and starting following Jared around. It was so CUTE!!
