Don't Mess With Texas

Finally I get around to updating this!  

We spent 4 1/2 fun-filled days in sunny, warm Austin last week.... 

Highlights include "riding the duck" (especially splashing into the water), riding the choo-choo at Zilker Park, and playing in the creek at the Science Museum with Granny!!!  We also saw family, friends, a black dog and played with Dino the Dinosaur!!

Quack Quack!

It was super fun in the water!

The creek.  No getting this one out of the water!

Granny and Noah!!

I can get WET??

I can drink it too!

Black dog (Ellen's sweet dog)!!

Love this!!!

Choo choo!!

Tutu

A pink bike, a black velvet purse... luckily Noah is ALL BOY!  What else to do on a rainy day in Seattle but play dress up!

{note the bottom one is a video of Noah dancing}

Pretty red tutu!!

And then rainy Seattle!

After California, Noah and I headed to RAINY Seattle!  

Didn't get to do as much as we normally do, but Noah still had F-U-N with his Grammy and cousins (and Auntie, Pappy, Great Grandparents, friends...)!!  Bus rides, tractor rides, kitties, cousins... it was a great time!

Makin' Mama proud!!

His new bike...yes, it's pink!

Tractor!

Chasing the neighbor's kitty

Very excited about his new umbrella!

Luckily, it was put to use right away

LOVES the bus!!

His favorite - "pink donut" - at Starbucks!

Sunny California

Before heading to Seattle, we spent the weekend in sunny California, with Noah's cousins and Uncle David (DAVE, as Noah calls him) and Auntie Anne.  And their kitty!

I don't know why I bothered bringing my camera, I barely took it out of my suitcase. :(  Here are the few shots Bill got at Train Town (the boys went on Friday).  Noah really had an absolute blast with his cousins - even if there are very few photos to prove it!
