May 28 is the tentative date for moving. My sister and Emmy are coming down May 26th to help pack and then us girls and Taylor are headed to San Antonio for a few days.
We had open house this weekend so we thought it might be a good time to visit neighboring cities around Texas before we left for good. We left the house on Friday and drove to San Antonio. There was a Fiesta going on, so downtown was packed. We went to the carnival thinking Taylor would be able to ride some rides but unfortunately he was too short. Later we found a kiddie park on the way to the hotel and spent some time there. Taylor absolutely loved it!
The next morning we headed to Austin. I LOVE Austin! It reminds me of Eugene. It's real "organic" and they love their Longhorns! We spent the entire day at Barton Springs Park. There was so much to do. We rode a train, became environmentally aware of pollution in our rivers and streams, and Taylor played on the biggest play structure I have ever seen. Later that evening we went back to the hotel and played in the pool. Taylor can hold his breath under water!
We headed home on Sunday, but after visiting the capital building, University of Texas, and eating some Texas BBQ. The restaurant was called Salt Lick. Sounds weird I know but, if you know me, you know how much I love sauces. Their BBQ sauce was wonderful. My mouth is watering as I write this.
We got our food to go so Taylor could run around at the kiddie park in San Antonio again. Taylor got an unlimited ride band. We got our money's worth...until.....it happened! Taylor got kicked of the ride for misbehaving! He was riding his favorite ride, of course the cars. He began dragging his hand on the ground as the cars were going around. It was a very dangerous act that was not tolerated in the park. The operator, other parents, Sean, and I were asking Taylor to pick his hands up but he refused, with a big grin. They stopped the ride and Taylor had to get off. After that event we thought it might be best to just go home.

Taylor's first ride. Mommy was scared so Daddy had to ride too.
Horse and carriage. So well behaved.
THE RIDE.
He looks at this picture and says, "Coo coo." I don't think he has a clue about safety.
