On Thursday, Austin and I met up with some friends and had a great time. The weather was PERFECT for this. Lately Mother Nature has been a tad fickle in what it wants to do. One day it's freezing, the next it's warm, then rainy and then super windy --- all within the course of one week - no exaggeration there! But on thursday it was NOT windy, nor was it freezing, it was absolutely perfect!! The day called for pants, short sleeve shirt with just a jacket in the morning. As the day progressed it just got warmer and warmer, but it was welcomed with open arms since us Texans aren't used to the long, cold/rainy winter we've had!
Our self-portrait! :-)
Smelling the flowers. "Yummm"
This is my FAVORITE picture! He was not staying still - funny huh LOL - but stopped to watch twin girls, about 1 years of age, stumbling around while their parents took pictures. I later thanked them for the entertainment so I could get a shot of him LOL!!!
As we were walking past the frog's Austin proceeded to literally plop down and chill. Ummm. . . hello dude we're walking?! LOL So Sophia went over to talk to him. They are SO cute together. I'm so lucky to have friends like them!!
Okay, thanks Sophia, now we're OFF!!!
Moseying (is this a word?) before we stop for our picnic lunch!
After lunch I pulled out the Bubble Blower Gun that Austin got for his birthday. He LOVES bubbles, what kid doesn't, and so I was excited to see HIS excitment! Unfortunately the universe hated me at this moment because it wouldn't work for me. After a few minutes of unsuccessful tries, I hand it over to Kiesha who is able to get the thing going. So she hands it back where, magically it doesn't work. After I hand it off yet again, it works LOL Then seconds later I get pooped on by a bird!! I TOLD you the universe was hating me.
A LOT of people were having the same idea as we were! Here are just a few pictures of the beautiful scenery and all the people bathing in the sun.
Stairs!! Up, down, up, & down LOL
Then we entered the area where all the water was. It was Austin's and Sophia's favorite spot! They kept playing in the water - and I think if we let them, they would be there all day long!
He kept craking me up! He'd balance himself on his belly and 'fly' WEEEEEEE!
So Beautiful!
There were even some fish to watch!
"Bye Bye!" ~Austin
I just love the next sequence of pictures! It all started when Austin walked over to the ledge and said, "I sit" and then plopped down. Guess it was time for another photo opt LOL
Cheese!
"Oh Mrs. Kiesha is SO FUNNY!" ~Austin
Sophia showing Austin an acorn shell. She's a great teacher
Group Bear Hug!!!
Austin thew his arms in the air and said, "Yea Wa Wa!!"
(water - there is a lake on the edge of the Arboretum) LOL!!
Within minutes of putting him in the carseat to head home. He was passed out before I left the parking lot.

Fun! We tried to go to the Arboretum on Friday, but didn't make it there before Bug's afternoon nap. We plan to give it another try soon.
