Quick Trip

We had the 2nd and 3rd off from school, so we made a quick trip to Austin. We headed straight to Aunt Ruth's on Wednesday after school. We were pretty lazy on Thursday, but we did manage to get out and grab lunch with Aunt Kathy and run a few errands.

Zachary's interests on this trip were Sydney and Ellie. He seems to enjoy Sydney, but we are not getting a bird.

I was so excited that Cassie brought the kids over Friday and spent the day with us. Aunt Kathy joined us too, so I got a double dose. His interest in Ellie stems from his recent iTunes downloads. He downloaded some classical songs that he remembered as a baby, and thought she might like those to take a nap with. He was a little too aggressive for Eliana's taste. But Zachary seemed overall satisfied that he got to show the songs to her.

It's always fun to attempt to get the cousin photo.

We brought Alex a batting helmet. It was a little big, as Zachary made sure to tell him. But Alex was still very excited!

We headed to Traci's after that. I enjoyed watching her kiddos at tennis lessons on Friday evening. We hung out Saturday morning, before we headed to take the girls to a dance clinic. Then we went to kill time in town with the boys. It was fun getting to visit with Traci and the boys. That evening, we played a game or two, hung out with some of Jack's friends, I helped Elise with some homework, and we ate Pei Wei for dinner. Unfortunately, I did not get very many great pictures of the kids. I just got Whitney while we were playing games.

And Traci, playing the guitar Elise made for Jack.

It was a nice trip. I have so many other cousins that live in Austin. I hate that I couldn't see them all. But we have a family wedding in April, so that will be a good ole' Elfert Family reunion. I look forward to it!
