Seeing the Sights

Thursday morning we all slept in just a little bit after having such a big day Wednesday. We had a great breakfast and by the time we were all dressed and ready, Uncle Tim was home after a morning working. We got our hiking gear (good shoes, swimsuits and a picnic lunch) and headed to Hamilton Pool. It was just a little bit of a drive that mommy really enjoyed because we saw so many beautiful homes along the hilly, curvy way. Once we were there we discovered that because of high bacteria levels there was no swimming allowed, but that didn't stop us from having a great time! We hiked anyway and Uncle Tim single handedly carried our cooler of food/drinks to beach area. We had sandwiches, chips, veggies, dip and cookies. We ate and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We saw the waterfall, we walked around behind it and we saw a few turtles and cool looking birds. There was a snake in the water that drew lots of attention from all the people there. I was fascinated with it and wanted to see it...but I also had a healthy fear of it, too!! After a great afternoon there we headed back into town to regroup, Aunt Emily, Uncle Tim, Myla and I decided to play in the sprinkler since we didn't swim earlier. After showers we needed to figure out dinner! You will soon find that our trip was filled with AMAZING food from places that only Austin (or just all of Texas) could offer. Tex Mex was the menu for dinner and we enjoyed our time together! The day was a blast! I can honestly say that all of us were pooped out when we got home that night. Our bellies were full and we started watching Frozen until it was time for bed. Day two of our trip was just as much fun as day one!!!
