Here's Jax, just chillin' in our backyard pool.

What a face!

Our little Jack-o-lantern mouthed kid

He was so happy to be around water!

Madeline loved wading in the water.

So precious!

We decided to get out of town for Labor Day weekend and check out Austin, since we had never been there before. What a great city! We really liked it. There was a University of Texas game going on that day, and I've never seen so many burnt orange shirts in my life! There is some serious school pride in that town.

We went to Zilker Park, which is a nice playground/park area close to downtown surrounded by nice jogging and biking trails everywhere. Madeline played at the playground and Daddy took her on a ride on the train. Then we went down into the Barton Springs area and cooled off by wading in the water a bit. The kids both loved this. I wished we had brought swimsuits for everybody. Then we stopped in at the Austin Nature and Science Center just a few minutes away to check out some of their fish, animals, and nature exhibits. It was a really fun day!
