Chandler’s Birthday Weekend

 

It’s hard to separate out Chandler’s birthday party from our amazing weekend.

It started out with some really odd clouds…see the streaks from the sunlight?

The weather was beautiful one Saturday morning, so we drove out to Bandera to meet Aunt Mimi and walk through downtown.

Aunt Mimi got the boys ice cream.

And then we sat in on an Old West demonstation.

And straight from Bandera, we headed out to Austin and got there just in time to enjoy the dusk on the lake.

The next day we were going to see the Kite Fest at Zilker Park, but because it was crazy busy, we did something even better – visited Aunt Vickie at the hospital!DSC_4054DSC_4060DSC_4068

And we got back to the lake just in time to celebrate Chandler!

Chuck and his dad had spent the day before at the new Circuit of the Americas race track. It was fun to see them playing around.
