On Friday night we pulled into town pretty late so Courtney and Ryan came to help us unload and then we all went to bed. Courtney was running a 1/2 marathon on Saturday morning so our great friend Christy Rome came and picked us up at the hotel and we headed to Zilker park. The weather was perfect and it was the best park ever. A little train, natural springs with lots of shallow water to play in, a big shaded play area, nice picnic benches where Christy had to buy us snacks because I forgot money, and lots of space to run around. We stayed at the park for almost 5 hours and Courtney and Ryan ended up joining us there and then taking us back to the hotel. I loved that Cadie kept calling Christy "Christy Romas" because our favorite family restaurant is called Romas.
On Sunday morning we met Mary's dad, State Rep. Phil King, at the capitol for a private tour. This is Cadence and Jack Ranger sitting in his chair.
Courtney and Ryan are wonderful with both kids, but it was especially cute because Jack Ranger fell asleep on Courtney during the tour and she loved snuggling with him.
A few of the other trip highlights included Saturday evening out with Courtney and Ryan and our friends James and Angela Dildine. We put the kids to bed at Courtney's place (which is so cute - she is a good decorator) with a sitter and then we went out to a nice dinner at Carmelo's and the late show of Esther's Follies...is one of our favorite live comedy/music shows and it didn't disappoint.We also joined the Dildines on Sunday afternoon for a casual potluck. We headed back late Sunday night, but we had such a great time and packed in as much fun, family and friends as we possibly could in one weekend. I hope to go back again soon.
