We took the kids out to NASA to see all the hot air balloons Friday night. They enjoyed watching them get filled up and then "glowing". I forgot my camera, so these are all taken with my phone. Sorry if they're not super great quality!
They kids really love to paint. So, after having our patients at work paint pumpkins and seeing how they enjoyed it, I decided to get Ethan and Chelsea some to paint at home. They had a great time going out to the farmer's market and picking out their pumpkins, then bringing them home to decorate.
We ate at Storm's Burgers that night. It was yumm-o!
This is about the time of day when the bats came out! they were cool to watch fly around the river bank!We didn't do too much today (which was awesome). We headed over to the big city of Llano to check things out. The kiddos loved the big red caboose.
We stopped at the cool bridge and waterfall for some pictures. Ethan saw a big gray crane and started shouting "LOOK Mommy--an Ostrich an Ostrich".
After that we just headed home and did some floatin' and swimmin' in the river. It was nice after being out in the hot sun all day.

The "ostrich" Ethan was so excited about ;)

We headed down to the lake (or river, whatever) today for a swim. After growing up going to Toledo bend, it's a fantastic change to be able to see your feet when you get into the water. It's borderline too warm of water, but awesome! Down from our house it's shallow enough to wade over to the other side to the sand bar to play on the "beach". Didn't bring the camera out for a swim today, but got some great sunset photos.

They jumped right in fully clothed and started playing.
I was so proud of Chelsea for playing in "spraying" water!
