Keeping Them Busy...

In an effort to keep them busy and actually let Marie SEE some of Austin, we decided to escape since it wasn't raining today! WooHoo! I finished up some work and we headed off in the afternoon...

We went to the Austin Children's Museum, Zilker Park and then Red Lobster for dinner (my kids have been asking for crab legs - and Marie likes the biscuits, so it was all good).

Some pics from the museum and the park :)

I'm not sure if this is new or I just never noticed, but I saw several guitars around downtown area. This was a cool one outside the museum.

The theme there now is "Big Games" - there were all kinds of games... only BIGGER... the kids had a BLAST...


They still had the splash exhibit... it's just a little water thing that my kids love. I hope this is a permanent thing there... it's been there for a while now...



I do believe Marie could have watched the ball float for an hour and been perfectly happy... :)


Cap Metro "bus" - they had a great time playing on this and Marie showing off her puppet (they only had one, I'm going to go back and look for ones for my kids... so cute!)


The Butterfly exhibit....


Zilker Park... it was so HOT, we didn't stay long. The kids started getting a little overheated at the end there...


Think he's ready to leave? Hehehehehehe... what a sour puss!

I've always wondered if those are just for show or if they actually cook them? I mean do they have the "real" ones they serve in the freeze somewhere? Hmmm...
