Ice Cream festival and Pump it Up

-





We went to the First Annual Austin Ice Cream Festival this weekend. It was pretty fun. We got there right as it began and the skies opened and we got drenched. Then the sun came out and turned the whole park into a sauna. It was a very good thing that there was so much ice cream there. We toured the ice cream stands and we each picked a different vendor to try. Davis asked me a bite and I obliged, but he made a face and didn't ask me for another one. He just doesn't have a sweet tooth I guess.
We saw some friends and listened to a really good children's band. Davis went into the petting zoo, but preferred to enjoy the animals from the safety of his father's arms.
We got Davis' face painted and he looked awesome. We didn't stay as long as we wanted because the heat just became too much for us. Sammy started screaming in discomfort and my body was just aching all over.
I gave Davis a mirror on the way back and he spent the whole car ride enjoying his visage. We stopped at P. Terry's for a hamburger on the way home. It was pretty tasty.
After nap (which Davis didn't take) we headed to Pump it Up for my nephew's fifth birthday party. Davis had a blast. He had so much fun chasing his cousin and trying to keep up with the big kids. I'm definitely going to take him there again to play.
That evening we came home and crashed in our cool, air conditioned house. Michael and I curled up on the couch and watched a movie and I was asleep by nine. Woohoo for a crazy Saturday.
P.S. Thanks to Cheris for the great pics of the ice cream festival!

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
