My little man did well on the trip down here I have to say. He slept most of the first half and was just babbling when he was awake on the second half. So far he seems to enjoy it here as well as he can I mean the heat has just been zapping his energy. The first few days were kind of relaxed for us. We met a friend at House of Pies (or H.O.P.) and that was awesome b/c I LOVE H.O.P. sooooo much and so did he (when he finally realized that the fruit was pie-y goodness). Second day we went swimming and he about lost his mind because at my aunt's pool there is a handle that is on the steps so he figured out he could hold on to that and float to his heart's content. Plus he kept getting in, getting out, jumping in; little water baby wore himself out after about 2 hours of swimming he slept for 2 1/2.
Then we went to the Aquarium with his cousins and let me just say that if you are going to go there with children and you have the energy do the whole day fun package for $15.99. It is totally worth it especially if you have the coupon for "Buy 1, Get 1 FREE!!" We rode the little train that went into the shark tank and it was so adorable once he figured out what was going on he leaned back into me with his eyes really wide looking around like "What the heck is going on here?" He enjoyed the train as well as the carousel (obviously we skipped the Ferris Wheel for him) and he actually had a good time walking the exhibits. He kept pointing and babbling at everything. Well worth it.
Today has been kind of relaxed as well for us; we went to Rothers (I will ALWAYS call it Rothers it changed to 'The College Bookstore' middle of the junior year but dammit it's ROTHERS!!) and I got Trio some Cougar gear. A little onesie that says "Cougar, Born and Bred" and a beanie which he will just love come the winter months *sarcasm* And we got to see my godmama which I loved and she did remind em it's been awhile since she has really seen me or Trio which means we haven't been coming here often enough but that will change. We've also been seeing my aunt, two first cousins, and two second cousins all the days we have been here. Tomorrow we are going to go to the Children's Museum (b/c it's free after 5) and then Friday it's back home even if I'm not quite sure how happy I am about going home yet. I've really enjoyed my time here with Trio b/c even though my niece and dad came with us it was like a mini-vacation for us. But Pflugerville is where we live so c'est la vie.
I will post again to let you know how the Museum goes.
