Bonus Day

Lance had a 3-day weekend, which we were surprised about at the last minute when his boss called Thursday night. We set out to have a fun, yet productive Friday with our beautiful boys. The main project for the weekend has been making use of all of the wonderful digital photographs that we have recently gotten from Bloom Austin Photography. Of course, no productive weekend is complete without a trip to Costco. This particular trip was notable for two reasons. First, it was probably the least we have ever spent in a single trip. Second, Evan sat in the cart for the first time! As you can see from the photographs, he really enjoyed it. I was overcome with pride and thankfulness, seeing my two boys sitting in that card side-by-side.


After Costco we went shopping for Benjamin's bed and I think the boys were really getting tired. We wrapped up the afternoon with a trip to the Mighty Cone food trailer. Lance and I have been following the increasing popularity of food trucks/trailers, yet we have only been to one or two. Mighty Cone maked a good first start in our quest to become familiar with Austin's fine trailers. Crunchy chicken and shrimp with bright, fresh slaw and a spicy sauce, wrapped in a tortilla made for a delicious dinner in the 100 degree weather. We were a little too ambitious and went over to the Austin Trailer Park and Eatery to sample more trailer fare and some cake balls. We got a hot dog for Benjamin and sat down in the shade to feed Evan. Unfortunately, the cake balls will have to wait, as our stay was cut short by Benjamin's meltdown. All in all, it was a great bonus Friday.
