Porter loves Ice Cream
He always wants more. "More cream"







I fixed the kids pancakes for a late breakfast early lunch. Here come's Abbey for more.





Carrying my own plate outside.



I made it down the steps with no problem! Great balance!



Pancakes and syrup



Mmmmmmmmmmm



Later that evening our friends Caden and Jack came over to play.

Biscuit Brothers at the Capitol

The Biscuit Brothers put on a show at the Capitol to promote Save Texas History. It was free and we took advantage. Not to mention we got close and actually SAW the Brothers! The kids love 'em and when they started in with E.I.E.I.O., their ears perked up. Like, "Hey, I know this song!"



The beautiful capitol (south side)



Southwest corner



This reads:

"There is no danger of a surprise when the rangers are between us and the enemy" and "The Texas Rangers have done all that could be expected or required of soldiers"
Basically, don't mess with the rangers.





Heroes of the Alamo



I asked Abigail if she would sit on the steps so I could take her picture. (she did!)



Porter playing under the Heroes of the Alamo memorial.







Porter with 12th Street behind him.





Negotiating sticks





Playing with some other children

Running. Abbey is like Forrest Gump.

Hands up



Me and the kiddos

The kids were worn out. Especially Porter.


I also had the great experience of changing Porter's diaper on the grounds of the Capitol.
