Busy family visit!

Last week my mom, sister and nieces came to visit us in Austin. Being the type-A personality that I am, I made a list of all the activities I wanted to be sure to do with my visitors. Although it was exhausting, I'm happy to say that we checked every one of them off that list!

We visited the Easter Bunny for a group shot

We rode the MetroRail downtown to go to the Children's Museum

We watched Ethan play...or, um, cover 2nd base...at his t-ball game 


We swam at the pool in my neighborhood

We played at Zilker Park




We had "movie night" with a special treat of being able to have a snack in the toy-room (Ricky's choice, popcorn and gummy bears, went over really well!)

We filled our bellies at Hula Hut
(and Rudy's and Chuy's and The Spaghetti Warehouse among others...hey, it's no secret that I'm not a cook!)

We also shopped til we dropped at the Outlet Mall, saw the movie Hop (although I couldn't tell you how it was for the bazillion potty-breaks between the kiddos) and Nana bought the kids some great shoes at Sandy's Shoes and Toys (which I highly recommend for their quality kids shoes, selection and awesome discount room!)

So much to do in such little time...but we managed to do it! I so thoroughly enjoyed having their company but it really went by way too fast.

  1. so glad you all had a ball. I'd give anything for my mom to visit for a whole week and be able to go on all kinds of field trips!
