Labor Day Fun

After a rough Thursday for both of us, I sent Lauren a few texts joking that her and Owen should come visit and she would write back, "ha ha I wish". Finally I called her that night and convinced her to change her weekend plans and by Friday at noon they were southbound on 35!!! I was so excited to spend the weekend with them!! We had so much fun as usual. The kids are starting to interact more which was soooo adorable. My favorite part was when Charlotte would go crazy with her carseat toy, then Owen would laugh hysterically at her, and then she would stop and look over at him and crack up. It was so cute to see them make each other laugh. We had plenty of fun and some much needed rest for all of us. Thank you so much Lauren and O for driving down to see us, we are already looking forward to the next trip!

We started the weekend out with dinner at Waterloo so Owen could get all of his energy out on the playground after being in the car all afternoon, he loved it! Then we headed to watch the Knight's play some football! The kids loved being outside and playing on the field. Owen is ready to be one of the big boys and play some football - we will have to bring him a ball to play with next time! These pics are terrible (taken with the iphone) but I had to include them!

Charlotte's 3rd quarter nap with Aunt Em - she also came in town to visit Jeanne Ann for the weekend, we decided it was sister's weekend!!

Saturday morning we headed to Zilker Park and played on the playground, rode the train, played in the water and had a picnic lunch. Charlotte slept through her very first train ride!!

Playing in the rocks

Watching O's every move... and ready to be a big girl so she can play in the water too!

Playing in Barton Springs - Owen is a true Austinite now!!

It is totally impossible to get a picture of these 2 both looking at the camera (and yes, Charlotte is eating rocks!)

Owen's first (and only) bite of a snowcone!!

Playing at JaJa and Papaws - thanks to them and Aunt Em for the wonderful surf and turf dinner and swim, we had fun!
