Friday thru Sunday

We took it easy the first few days.

On Friday we floated down the San Marcos river. This was Ella's first time to float down the river (Abbie's too, of course). Ella rode in her own tube with a bottom. She was of course disappointed that she could not use the rope swing or go over the waterfall at the end. Maybe next year.







(These are not actually pictures of us. It is pretty difficult to take pictures while tubing and not get the camera wet.)



Saturday was difficult for me to remember. I think it might be because I spent the first few hours of the morning getting New Kids on the Block tickets and everything after that just doesn't compare.

(Also not a picture I took but check back after October 17th and maybe I'll have the real thing.)

We went shopping on Saturday to prepare for Abbie's 1st birthday party on Sunday. We had pizza, cake and party hats. Abbie got her first piggy bank from Aunt Sue and a xylophone. Her Uncle Josh made her the necklace she is wearing in the second picture. He even made the chain!! Ella even got a present, Aunt carol got her a folding yellow chair to match her play table. After all the excitement everyone went to see the bats in Austin.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE...
