Luke's childhood dream came true when we noticed a stick hanging onto the side of the doorway here at our complex. Upon closer examination we noticed that it was alive!
We went to Barton Springs which is a river that runs around 65-degrees year round. There is a diving board and steep grassy banks for laying out and picnic-ing. Luke and I got in and had to force Millie to dip her little toes in. She didn't like it, she is more into people watching and eating grass.
On the "Things You Must Do In Austin" list one of the recommendations is to watch the bats fly out from underneath the bridge. So we parked our car at sunset and frantically pushed to stroller 1/2 a mile to the spot to watch. The crowds gathered. We waited. The sun went down. We waited. And waited. And waited. Two and a half hours later around 9:30 in the complete dark we packed up our crying, sleepy, hungry baby and trudged back to the car. We did not see any bats. However that night I did have a dream that we went to watch again and the sky was filled with them and the bats would dart down and attack all of the spectators like a scene from a horror movie. Maybe its a good thing we missed them!
Conner is a mastiff and ginormous! He loved Millie and would try to lick her and sit next to her. It was adorable. This is at the BBQ on Monday.

I'm going to show Kyah these pictures. The fact that you are a river without her will hurt, but the picture with the other dog just may be crushing. :)
That river looks AWESOME. Crazy that the bats are on a top-to-do list it must be pretty awesome. I'm with millie though, i think bed sounds way better than a bunch of bats flying at my head (: miss you
Jess, your hair is getting SOOOOO long! That last little family photo of y'all is adorable! Looks like you are guys are getting settled and enjoying your new adventure:)
I thought for sure there was some photo editing done in the picture with the dog! His head takes up 1/2 the photo! He looks sweet though. Glad Mill's liked him. Looking at all these photos makes me miss you guys...can't wait to see ya next week!
