Food Food Food

The second half of Ginger's visit is summed up in 1 word, Food. We took them to Torchy's and Tacodeli here in Austin, they are rivaling taco places. And Torchy's wins hands down. It is delicious. Best taco of my life. Any of them.

Round Rock Donuts. We couldn't resist the Texas sized!


Chuy's- our local Mexican Restaurant. Their Creamy Jalapeno Ranch, I dream of it. 


We dropped the kids off with Kasee & Jason one night and had a double date night downtown.


We took them to Hopdoddy's, the popular burger joint here. I do have to say, their burgers are pretty good, the shakes even better. This was our second time and we liked it better than the first.


We also took them to see the Bats. At sundown, hundreds of thousands of bats fly out from their home in the bridge. Turns out this isn't the best time of the year to go, we waited for over an hour and even then the bats didn't come out all at once. But it was fun!

 We shopped a TON. Amelia spent a lot of time in the stroller. So she'd get in her nap or find ways to entertain herself.

 We took them to Mount Bonnell. Amelia really got into the climbing and had to do it all by herself.

 It is so pretty up there, we should come more often as our little family on Sunday afternoons.

 I adore Maya's dress and I'm sad that I accidentally took the attention away from her new dress by wearing the same color.

Amelia begging Juan to let her climb down herself. 

Every morning Amelia would run out and ask for "Juh" (Ginger) and "Sah" (Sam). She said good bye Sunday and she understood that they were gone. I asked her after church where they were and she said, Gone. Then she ran to the door and said, Door. She's still sticking to the short and limited responses as you can see. Although she does understand everything we say.

And now it's back to real life. Which looks like this:

 We had the best time with Ginger and Sam. But I can't complain, normal life is pretty awesome too.

We did have a really fun time. Lots and lots and good food. I am still dreaming about those Round Rock Donuts. They were so yummy. I am excited to see you guys in a month again. I wonder if Amelia will remember us.
