Field Trip with Cousins

After school today, we jetted off to meet our cousins for a quick afternoon visit to the Wildflower Center. It is free all month long and this afternoon was probably one of the sunniest winter days of the entire month.








We climbed towers, looked for fish, identified trees and plants, and even played with the puzzles inside the Little House. But mostly, we just ran amok in the fresh air and wide open spaces with our cousins.







It was a good thing we all got so much exercise, because afterward, we decided to join our cousins on their quest to eat their way across Austin, one food trailer at a time. First up was dinner at Odd Duck, where the boys polished off gourmet quesadillas and nibbled as much as I would let them on my New York Strip slider. Owner-Bryce walked over to our table after we had finished and asked us how everything tasted. Deeelish! And lucky for us, Gourdough's Donuts is right next door. We ordered four of the made-to-order, obscenely huge, delishously topped creations and passed them around the table. Ben and I highly recommend the Bring the Heath and Ace likes the Chunky Monkey. Our very fun afternoon ended with my two boys telling me they had tummy-aches from "too much donuts".
