Today we went to the zoo. We saw a tiger, a deer, and a lion. A bear, lots of stuff! I got a stufted fox. It costs 5$.

The other week Harry, Finley and I went to Zilker Park to ride the train.

 Finley wasn't really into taking a nice picture before we set off.

 Such a pretty time of year in pictures. Such a sweaty time of year in person.

 Under the bridge was probably the best part.

 Finley spent almost the entire 1st half of the ride playing with my shoes, which are usually out of her reach. But by the time we turned around she was very excitedly waving at people we had already passed [her timing needs work!]

We of course made one stop at the fire truck playset. ;)

Yesterday me and my dad went swimming. it was awesome. It was Sunday! We walked 2 miles!! We were so tired! Ms. Taryn babysits me. On Monday we made a marble race.

We saw a fox! And a duck. A deer. We liked it.

We went to the Austin Nature and Science center yesterday. Sadly, most of the animals were not in their cages (taking a bath? I have no idea). But the recent rain apparently brought out all the loose lizards because they were EVERYWHERE! I really love lizards, so you'll have to forgive the many pictures of them. Heh. I then proceeded to forget that I had brought my camera so I didn't get a picture of the fox, bunny, mallards or any of the birds of prey (my favorite).

The deer we saw was not actually part of the science center; we saw it in someone's yard when I took the "I'm lost" way to the entrance. Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Sorry we haven't posted lately! I lost the cord for my camera for a while and there were a few days where I didn't feel well so we didn't do much.

So here is what you missed that we did since the Austin Children's Museum:

• Harry sewed a pillow (almost) all by himself.
• We made minecraft magnets!
• We saw Rio and ParaNorman at the $1 movies at Regal Cinema.
• We watched Spirited Away on DVD because I forgot to bring the sewing stuff yesterday (my bad).
• We did some painting, but I missed taking pictures at the time.
• We've had two more swim days.
• We went to the Austin Museum of Art at Lagoona Gloria, which was a disappointment. There were about 6 photos on display and 2 or 3 sculptures and that was it. Glad we went on a free day! The grounds were very pretty though and we got to see the peacock the keep there and spotted a lizard on a tree.

Harry is doing his "school" work right now, but in a little while we are going to continue our stuffed kitty project and do a dancing raisins experiment. I'll try to get photos this time!

We went to inflatable wonderland .It was fun.It was cool.

This week's field trip was to Inflatable Wonderland, a bouncy house play place inside Lakeline Mall. Finley is not yet one, so she can only crawl and cruise. I kept putting her in the bouncy house for toddlers that I could reach over, but she would bounce in one place and then beeline for the door flap to get out. Tried having her play in the free play area with mats and a slide, etc but Finley, the ever explorer, kept making a break for it across the carpet trying to get to the bigger things to check them out. She was cracking up all the time, so I guess she had fun anyway!
