Austin Zoo


Austin has a zoo. A small & rustic rescue zoo, where each animal has its' own story on how it got to Austin, how cute! On a VERY warm summer day, we set off to meet our friends Christina and Sydney (a soon to be 1st grader with Hannah at HF). A lot of water bottles helped us get through our afternoon. Despite the heat, we saw some incredible animals, AND ate lunch with the free roaming peacocks! The tiger was my favorite animal, however, my favorite story was about a small turtle who was moved to the rescue zoo because he coudln't get along with the other turtles in his previous zoo! HA! The breeze on the train ride cooled us off, and ended our zoo adventure. Fun day with friends!

Mom's Birthday


Cannot remember the last time I got to spend a birthday with mom on her actual birthday...happy to celebrate this year! I made a lemon cake, and Mike and I attempted paella for the first time. Not bad! (Needs some work, not an easy dish to perfect!) Happy Birthday to my amazing momma, LOVE you so much!

Summer Road Trip: The Beach



Our last and final stop on our road trip was our beach rental in Pensacola Beach. AHHHHHHHH...saved the best for last! Reunited with Carla, Daniel and Olivia, our little crew was ready for fun! Cousin time is the best, and sister time too, sadly, Mike had to head back home, his vacation days were over. Sad to see him go, we made the best of our week playing, swimming, eating, and relaxing. Oh, and SURPRISE, Nana flew in for the weekend! Hooray! Maybe next year we can have everyone together, missed you Papa and Mike, and future baby Landers!

My phone pics from the photo shoot!

What a wonderful trip! Cannot wait for more memories at the beach next year!
