October was a fun month!  We had a lot of beautiful weather to enjoy some time out doors & exploring!  

I took the kids to the Austin nature & science reserve near Zilker Park.  Surprisingly, few people know about it! They have a few animals, a bird sanctuary, reptiles, and nature trails to explore.

As a nanny for many years I'd always take my kids here because it is free & now it's great to see my own kids enjoying it!

 

Madison's favorite animal was the raccoon!

Madison & Adam had a great time throwing rocks & searching for tadpoles.

 
They even have a little center inside that is dedicated to space at the moment.  

 
We try to have a weekly play date with some of our friends!

Adam LOVES to say cheese! Climbing the rope ladder at Terra Burger.

 

Maddie's always finding some sort of critter.

Madison absolutely LOVES preschool.  Here is her class on Cowboy day.

We found the coolest play scape in Kingsland, just down the street from Mom's house!!

The neighborhood crew on Halloween.  Kevin made a hayride for us!  It was a blast!!!
