Enchanted Rock

Our day at Enchanted Rock was indeed enchanting. Not a cloud in the sky, nice cooler temps and just a good vibe all around. It was also super windy at the top! Can't believe Dave and I had never been. After all the hiking we did in Utah, the climb was a piece of cake (relatively speaking...).

We thought Enchanted Rock would be a lot bigger than this?!? 

Enchanted Rock or the moon?

Looking at tadpoles. How'd they get up there?

We had a picnic before heading back to Austin. It was a perfect way to celebrate Spencer's birthday. We want to go back this winter - maybe do some stargazing.

Easter Picnic at The Farm

Lisa, Ken and their families once again hosted a fun Easter picnic at "The Farm" in Frelsburg the day before Easter. We had a really fun time, but I didn't take that many pictures.

There was fishing...

 And eating...

And of course an egg hunt with Sarah and her cousin Mae...

  Spencer found both the gold and silver eggs, which had a combined $3.00 inside!

Flight of the Butterflies

Today was absolutely gorgeous and we had some wonderful family time. We took Spencer to see his first movie in a theater—and a 3D IMAX no less! We saw Flight of the Butterflies at the Bob Bullock Museum and it was a spectacular movie about the migration of monarch butterflies. It was so cute to see him reach out to try to grab the butterflies (heck, I did, too!). He did announce about 35 minutes in that he was ready for it to be over, but lucky for him it was only 44 minutes long. He already wants to go back to see another IMAX movie about a steam train traveling through the Canadian Rockies.

I packed lunch for us, so after the movie we walked over to the lawn of the Capitol and had a picnic. We blew bubbles and played tag, hide-n-seek and football. I filmed Spencer doing some place kicking and got put in my place for not being fully present. Message received!
