First thing on Saturday morning we went to the Austin Zoo with our friend Julian and his Mommy and Daddy. The Austin Zoo isn't your typical zoo, it is a rescue zoo. They help rescue animals from neglectful and abusive situations.
The boys enjoyed walking around the zoo looking at all the animals.
Julian especially enjoyed the petting zoo.
While Christian had a blast feeding the Axis Deer.
However, Christian didn't like the Rooster hanging around so close.
About 2 seconds after this picture was taken the Rooster stretched his wings and got a little too close to Christian. He screamed and wanted to be picked up by Mommie immediately.
After the visit to the Zoo we had just enough time to get home, take a nap and then meet up with more North of Austin friends, the Petty's and the Wilson's for lunch at the Nutty Brown Cafe. It was a our way to help Krystal celebrate her birthday! Holy Cow it is Krystal's birthday!
After a yummy lunch, we ran a few errands. We were this close to going to Target to get a new alarm clock when we suddenly remembered...SALES TAX HOLIDAY WEEKEND. We remembed this when we saw the totally full Target parking lot. Okay, maybe a visit to Target can wait.
Then we headed off to Home Depot to buy a housewarming gift for another North Austin friend who has just become a South Austin friend. Yea!!!! score a victory for South Austin. Bonus points because now Daddy has a friend to watch Battlestar Galactica with .
All of this running around required a snack from Sonic to get us through.
Our Sunday was much slower paced. We finally made it back to church, had a easy lunch at home and were able to get some much needed chores done around the house.
Oooooooo I almost forget to mention the friend Daddy made this weekend.
A GREAT BIG SPIDER!!!!!!!!!
He is even scarier in black and white.
