A Texas State of Mind

We made a surprise visit to Gigi and Papa's for Gigi's birthday and glad we did! As always little one had a blast getting dirty, shopping, exploring nature and resisting bedtime.

She loved riding the lawnmower and took it quite seriously
This girl has a thing for getting down and dirty in the dirt
Feeding ducks

Gigi has quite the garden growing so we go to help her with that.  She puts lots of lady bugs in there and little one had about 20 red and black best friends on her at all times. We kept finding them randomly on her later in the day too.

We decided to try out Seaworld again since she is a little older and such an animal lover.  She said awww about 100 times.  So sweet.  We fed the dolphins but they scared her.

Running...of course



Being adventurous on the the kiddo ropes course



The penguin exhibit less being able to see them.

Surprisingly the shows kept her attention for about 90% of the time.  She really enjoyed the beluga show. They are gorgeous creatures!

So intense

Something that is totally worth the money is having lunch with Shamu.  The food was great and getting up close with the whales was awesome.  This is the baby whale. How cute is that? Their oldest "Shamu" is 47 years old.  There is one that is like 70 years old in California.

Eight hours at Seaworld equals a sleepy kiddo

Enjoying some four-wheeling

Pretend driving with Papa. 

After visiting Sisterdale we made a stop at Luckenbach, TX.  I have not been here since college and it was nice to go back.  It is just a nice place to sit (have a few drinks of choice) and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.  There is always someone playing some sort of music whether its a guitar, signing, harmonica, whatever.  Definitely one of the best places in Texas!
C did not want to leave! She enjoyed the atmosphere too.  Well, she got a candy necklace and who does not like a candy necklace!?!
