Zilker Park

Grandma and Aunt Amy are in town from New Jersey this week! With temperatures in the mid-80s today, it was perfect weather to be outside. Austin has some great parks, and one of our favorites is Zilker Park. There is a huge playscape, a train, and LOTS of rocks. Peter is quite into rocks these days, so he had a blast. After lunch at Souper Salad, we headed downtown to the park.
After several cloudy and cool days, Peter enjoyed being outside. He explored all of the rocks and sticks. He walked on the playscape. He drank juice while swinging. He even made a friend while playing some music.





While waiting for the train, Peter enjoyed watching the birds. Some children were feeding them, so they got VERY close to us. At one point, Peter was surrounded by pigeons. Something scared them, and they flew off very quickly. A few actually flew right into Peter and knocked him down. Peter then decided to enjoy the birds from the comfort of Mommy's arms.

We finished off our trip with a train ride around the park.
Peter was exhausted at the end of the day, and he almost fell asleep on the way back to the car. We had a GREAT day at Zilker!

I love all of his special treasures! After being sick so long, it's nice that he's well for his company.
