Geek, Ducks and Kites

What a busy week! Grannie (aka "Geek") was here to hang out with Spencer while Daddy was working on his SXSW film poster and title design contest stuff. Paw-Paw brought Grannie up on Sunday, then came back Friday afternoon to pick her up. So Spencer got some good grandparent time.While Grannie was here, cousin Sarah came over to play one afternoon. Spencer and I actually went to Sarah's house the day before to play, too. I love getting the little cousins together - two days in a row is unprecedented!

On Saturday, Spencer and I went to visit Jenni and Mitch. Jenni gave Spencer some neat airplane toys she found at O'Hare. He loved hanging out in the back yard with Mitch and their kitty. Then we went to Mills Pond to feed some ducks. Spencer was so brave - he walked right up to the ducks and loved throwing bread to (at) them. Even when a dog got loose and caused all of the ducks around us to go crazy and suddenly fly away, he didn't flinch (I think I screamed!).

Today was the rescheduled Zilker Kite Festival, so Daddy, Spencer and I headed down there for a little while. It was fun to all be together after Dave's crazy schedule lately. The weather was incredible - almost a little hot even. Spencer looked at lots of kites flying overhead and also got to try limeade for the first time.
