Underpants
As I was finishing up dinner, the kids all got into the chalk outside and got so dirty they had to eat in their underwear. Well, afterwards they all ran outside like crazy feeling like they were free. It looked so funny. See if you can see Tony, he's wearing shoes to top off the lack of outfit.
See that enormous plant next to Aliana?
It's peter pan squash and below is what we just got out of it.

Boat Regatta
On Saturday, we took the kids to the park to watch the Boat Regatta. The object of the race was to make your own boat out of cardboard and tape, get it to float and then to race it to the finish line hoping to win and not sink.
It was alot of fun; we even choose the best seat...the finish line.
Here they come!
All the kids ate so well since they were watching the boats and didn't even try to run and do something else.
These two little ones were adorable paddling their homemade boat.
Some more little ones.
Can you see the boat that sunk? It was the first one that didn't make it.
Boy did Alex cheer them on to keep going?
They had to ditch the boat and just swim to shore.
He was cheering so much that when he stopped he realized what he was doing and got embarrassed.
Oh how cute!
We saved our crust to feed to the ducks before going home.
Fun filled Saturday afternoon.
Mobile uploads from the park
We took another trip to the park (it is weekly here) and did so much creative stuff.
We had a picnic, an obstacle course, balancing contest, climbing trees, checking out the tadpoles in the creek and exploring the tunnel/bridge under the road. That last one, we only went to the opening and looked in to discuss what could be in there and where did it go since we did see light.
Alex told me to grab the camera because he's going to do cool stuff.
Aliana had to climb with her brother.
Ready to start the obstacle course....they have their tough faces on ;-)

Fieldtrip to Zilker Botonical Gardens
Starting out our tour with the Green Garden, but most of us know this as Zero Scape which originated in Co.
Entering the Japanese Gardens.
It was so peaceful to hear water all around us.
They were trying to see the rock ponds that were made to resemble AUSTIN.
It was very hard to see. It helped when she showed us a design on paper.
Japanese Tea House that is made out of bamboo.
Tony was the first to answer the guides question about what bamboo is used for and who eats it...makes a momma proud.
Looking for the Koi.
Getting a chance to run.
As soon as the guide said to run they all darted and here they are all in motion.
Entering the Prehistoric Garden.
Alex and his buddy Jack.
All lining up to listen.
Yep, could have been a good picture. We are working on faces.
They are trying to figure out what this pond is suppose to be...a human foot.
It was a joke since it is in the dinosaur garden.
Learning about composes and the different kinds there are.
We came to old houses from the 1800's that were in the gardens. This was a well that they used.
This house had 11 people living in it at one time.
13 children and 5 moms.
Afterwards, my friend, Martha and I took our children to a park to play and have a picnic.
The picnic ended up being on the banks of the Barton Natural Springs where we watched people swim and play with their dogs.
Cool expereinces this day!!
Putting our feet in the spring and trying not to fall from the moss that was growing. A little stressful because there was a ledge about 2 feet in front of them.
Got to love the graffiti art in Austin.
