We took a trip to Austin last weekend and Grant attended the Austin Magic Auction and the kids and I had the best time staying with my sister Courtney and her husband Ryan. They were great hosts! Courtney had purchased toys for the kids to have at her house and Ryan grilled out for us Friday evening and then fixed us brunch on Sunday morning. The kids loved their dogs Mona and Nellie and we all slept great! Jack Ranger slept in Ryan's office and Cadie slept on a little pallet on the floor of the guest room where Grant and I stayed.
On Saturday morning CJ and Ryan took us to "secret beach." I asked them if they thought it would be busy and they said they didn't know because they had really never been anywhere in Austin so early on a Saturday morning :). Welcome to life with toddlers! Well, at 9:30 in the morning it was not busy and so Cadie had a great time swimming mostly in the buff. The water was cold and it was a little breezy, but we had a great time and then got warm again laying on towels in the sun eating snacks. On Saturday evening we had a fun dinner at Shady Grove Diner.
We really wished we could have seen a few more friends and family while we were there (Aunt Whitney), but the time flew by and we wanted to make it back to Dallas on Sunday at a resonable time. I hope we can go back really soon!

| Friday evening the kids entertained themselves at the back porch splashing in a bowl of water. It was previously the dogs water bowl. |
