Labor Day Part 1: Austin


We spent part of our Labor Day weekend in Austin.  Grandma Kathy drove in from Utopia to spend time with us and we got to see Uncle Travis as well.  After lunch on Saturday, we went to the Children's Museum and then swimming at Barton Springs.  We had a nice quiet dinner in our hotel room and then went to see the movie Seven Days in Utopia while Grandma watched Owen and Rachel.


Rachel learned some physics with golf balls at the museum.  It was a fun place, although a lot smaller than what we are used to in Houston.


Rachel loved playing with the trains.  I think I know what she will be getting for Christmas (shhh...don't tell her)


The water at Barton Springs was cold as usual but we had a good time.  Rachel looks a little uncertain in this picture but she really was having fun.


She managed a good "cheese!" for this one.  Uncle Travis still looks pretty cold.


Owen did not get to take part in the fun.  He relaxed with Grandma while we were swimming.

Rachel was helping with the umbrella we had to block some sun.  It was so windy thanks to Tropical Storm Lee that she almost took flight like Mary Poppins.


Owen had a lot of fun with Grandma in our hotel room.

Rachel had fun swimming again before we checked out - this time with Grandma at the hotel pool.


Owen found it quite relaxing to watch his sister splashing around.
