Weekend

We had a very good, busy weekend. It started wednesday afternoon we left for Austin. On Thursday we went to the Capital building and to the childrens museum. The capital building was so fun to see, Hayden really enjoyed it. They had been studing Texas the week or two before we left. The capital grounds were pretty torn up from the storm that happened Wednesday night. There were several trees uprooted and many more with broken limbs. We did not see any broken windows but the news reported it. The grounds people were working very hard to get it cleaned back up. We had a picnic after the capital building at a near by park and Hayden and Kyrstn really enjoyed that, there were several pigeons around so they fed them some bread then tried catching them and then played on a big tree that was close. They even go to see the homeless people because apparently we ate at the park where they rest and things. We had a couple of people come up to us asking for drinks and they had never seen people do that before - it was a good experience for them. We thanked God for providing us with extras and for protection. There was one guy that even drew a picture for us of a little girl and boy playing on a tree - I think maybe it was Hayden and Kyrstn but not sure. Hayden got to spend the night with Sarah and Davis Thursday night. Davis, my brother-in-law, graduated from pharmacy school and we are all very excited about that. Now they are going to be moving to Lubbock. Davis will start his job with Covenant in June. We just went to the graduation on Friday morning that was just the pharmacy graduates. It was very nice and just long enough for the kids - much longer and I don't think they could have handled it. After graduation we went to eat at Salt Lick BBQ. It was very good BBQ - a long way from where we were though - we thought we were not going to make it. We finally did and had a good time. After that we went over to Stephanie and Karrolls to visit with them. What a good time we had. All the kids loved playing with each other and it was so nice since they are all about the same age. Major is so cute and doing very well. He just scoots around as fast as he can. While we were there he was wanting to walk around. They said he has not been trying to walk around that much. While we were there we met June and Greg - they are very nice people. We stayed there for a while then went over to Sarah and Davis so that Kyrstn could spend the night with them. We went back over to their apt Saturday morning and had lunch and picked up Kyrstn the headed to Dallas to visit Russell's uncle Ronny and his family. We had a nice visit with them Saturday night, Sunday and left Monday. The kids really enjoyed it because they have a pool and got to go swimming right after we got there and almost all day on Sunday. We headed home Monday since Russell had to get back to work - no more vacation days and Hayden needed to get back to kindergarten since they have 6 days left. I will post some pictures from our weekend later. Hopefully soon.
