Austin Trip with Mom & Dad

I'm a little late, but here are pictures from our Austin Trip.  When we first got there, we  drove around downtown to see the Capitol and then UT also.  Next we went to lunch at The Hula Hut. It was right on the water.  The food was delicious too.

This is the view from the water.  We went on a Duck Tour the next day that went on land and water.

After lunch, we headed to Zilker Park where we played in Barton Creek, rode the Zilker Train, and played at the park.

 There was a park to really swim in, but we were told it was deep and since I was the only one willing to get in with the kids, I didn't think I could handle both of them.  One the other side was this little area where you could walk around.  It was very mossy and slippery, but the kids loved it.

 It was stinkin' hot there!!  We had to cool off with some treats while we rode the train through Zilkler Park.

That evening, we swam in the hotel pool.

 

Wednesday morning, we went on an Austin Duck Tour.  They are buses that can also go into the water.  I thought it was interesting learning about Austin; Tyler not so much.  Him and Molly just wanted to go in the water.  They give you duck calls to blow on throughout the tour too.

By the time we got to the water, Molly was out.  Scott even tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't.

We had lunch at Louisana Longhorn Cafe.  They have some great seafood!

We had the table right in front of the window, but it's hard to see

My Dad trying fried alligator.  He wasn't a fan.  Tyler loved it though!

Before we headed home, we stopped at Ikea for some picture frames.  While we were there, my mom and I had gone to look at something, so we left Molly and Tyler with Scott and my Dad.  We were coming back and I heard Molly start screaming.  I run over to her and this little boy was biting her.  He didn't break the skin, but she had a nice bruise.  Scott said the boy had just hugged Tyler, so he thought he was going to hug Molly.  It was the craziest thing.  Poor Molly kept saying the whole way home-Boy bite me, boy bite me. 

It was a fun visit to Austin.
