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!!

What a fun trip! It looks like you guys packed pretty much everything in. I felt the same way when we went to Austin; we were eating non-stop (which was great, don't get me wrong) but my expanding waist line was definitely not due to anything else but gorging myself. It looks like the stroller was a big hit, I guess Isaac is just preparing himself to be a big brother, however I hope he has had enough goose eggs that he can show his sibling how to avoid them.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! Isaac is getting so big- I'm glad you keep posting so we can keep up with him! Carolee, you look so cute! I love that you have a little belly. We are so excited to see you guys in a couple of weeks. We'll have to get together and do lots of fun things with the kids.

I like the last picture, you need to get him mowing the lawn ASAP!! All the pics of Austin brought back good memories! I'm sure skishores was as good as ever!

We're glad you guys could visit, it's been pretty boring since you left. Megan still talks about you every day.

Looking at how hot we look (especially Megan) in the train picture made us laugh.

I'm finally able to comment again--though you may not have missed me too much--though you do have several new posts!! Your trip looked so fun--good thing you got to see Austin one more time--maybe Chelsey could go to school there so you could continue your visits??!! Isaac is so cute and so funny and so accident prone--that goose egg was enormous!! I agree with Dan--get the boy mowing ASAP--it will definitely lighten your load--though I do recall mowing the lawn alot when you were home--hm hm--wonder why!

Alright, I happen to know for a fact that you have a working digital camera again. We want to see some pictures of Isaac and pregnant Carolee.

You can keep the pictures of Jared to yourself.

Just kidding.
