Family 4th of July!

The 4th of July! What a fantastic time of the year! I just love a day of relaxing fireworks, and family fun! We had a great holiday!! Brett's mom, Aunt Sandy & Uncle David, and Julie came to Austin to visit. Saturday night we went to SoC0 (South Congress) and enjoyed a nice drink and some live music-and of course some Mexican food.... and who could resist a cup of Amy's Ice Cream (an Austin original)! Sunday we went to a winery in the hill country, ate at the Oasis, and then checked into the Hyatt downtown. The Hyatt could not have been a better place to stay! Our room faced right out to the Town Lake and we enjoyed watching all the kyakers paddle down the river! And then, the fireworks were shot off a boat right by us, so we just sat and enjoyed them from our room!

As for Crew, his 1st 4th of July was FABULOUS ! He enjoyed the winery (his second one to visit), all the food, and especially the swimming! He was a little confused with the fireworks.. he was trying to grab them out of the sky, ha! But needless to say after several short naps in the car all weekend he was exhausted! He took a 4 hour nap once we got home yesterday and slept until 10:30 am today! Lets just say, we tuckered the little man out, but what a wonderful 4th of July! God Bless America!
