Baby Swing

Josh loves his new swing! He laughed and laughed. He could have stayed in there for hours. He was so content. (BTW, check out his new little loafers. So sweet!)

Josh's sister and brothers love pushing him!

I thought I would include this cute picture of our little Princess Hailey. It is hard to get a good picture of her. She usually tries too hard to smile for the camera.:) She loves getting her picture taken.

A Fun Week

Dean had off for the week of the 4th. We decided to stay in town and do some fun things around Austin. It rained most of the time, so we left our camera at home a lot in fear of it getting wet.

Our first ride on the Cedar Rock Railroad, a miniature train in a park near home. We rented out the whole train for ourselves.;) I don't think it's a very popular attraction.

We went to Zilker Park one morning.

Mommy and Josh

We had lunch one day at The Hula Hut. It is on a dock on Lake Austin. Thank goodness it had a roof or we would have had to eat inside. The kids loved the chips and salsa.

A couple was nice enough to offer to take a picture of all of us.

Here we are at the mall. Someone had abandoned their mall stroller and Matthew and Hailey were so excited to ride in it. It was worth pushing that thing around, since we got a dollar back when we returned it.

One night, we had dinner at The Oasis, it is 450 feet up overlooking Lake Travis. Again, the kids enjoyed the lake view and the chips and salsa. You can see the dark clouds rolling in. It started pouring as soon as we got in the car to drive home. We had great timing that day!

4th of July

The neighborhoods all around us were cancelling their firework shows because of the rain, but ours luckily proceeded as the rain hovered close by. We went to our community park and sat on a blanket to watch. It is one of our traditions to have cupcakes while watching fireworks. Josh enjoyed them very much!

No 4th is complete without corn on the cob!
