Texas Trip April 27/May 6, 2012

     

 Taylor and I made some bread dough.  She loved measuring all the ingredients and esp. licking the beaters

 We all got to watch Logan play in 3 Baseball games.  It was a lot of fun to see him in action!

                                                               Logan got the game ball!

                             We went to the San Antonio Temple while we were down there.

                   One of the main reasons we went to San Antonio was to see the Alamo.
             Will has always been interested in the history and the guns they used to fight with.

                                         We enjoyed the River Walk in San Antonio.
                                               We rode the little boats around the water ways
                                                     and ate a great TexMex meal!  Very pleasant!

                          An aggressive duck took a liking to Jeff and kept nibbling at his toes!
                                        He is to the right of Jeff waiting for something to eat!

             We waited for 3 hrs. here at the Congress St. Bridge in Austin for the Bats to come out.
         The Bats hold up in there during the day and come out @ night for food and water
                     There were a ton of Bats flying around and a few flew close to our heads!

 We enjoyed a BBQ Texan Dinner at the Famous "Salt Lick" about 20 miles outside Austin

 Will and I drove in the Hill Country outside Austin and San Antonio each morning.

Dripping Springs was a small community started because some settlers found this Dripping Spring!

 We stopped in Waco to tour the "Texas Ranger Museum" 

Will especially enjoyed this museum because of all their guns and history!

Jeff and I actually enjoyed it too!  

Jeff has a few friends that attended Baylor University in Waso.

 Jeff took us on a tour of the Parker School of Chriopractics which he is attending in Dallas. Jeff has completed his second semester and was on break to travel with us.

 Here is adorable Taylor.  I braided her hair with a super long "Tangled" Braid.

She loved dancing around with her long hair!

 Taylor liked riding in the car with Grandpa & Grandma because she was the boss of her window!

She is showing off her tattoo she got from the Texas Ranger Game

 Logan & Grandpa had a lot of bonding time throwing the ball back and forth!

Ann & Eric surprised us with Texas Ranger Tickets and fireworks show.  

Everything in Texas is BIG!  The stadium was hugh and with a sold out crowd of over 47,500 people is was pretty overwhelming.  One of my favorite parts of the game was when the crowd sang        "Deep in the Heart of Texas"
