the Zilker experience

Since Gram and Aunt Rae Ann were in town, we decided to take the kids down to Zilker park.  We started with a wonderful ride on the Zilker Zephyr.  Now the last time I took the kids on the train, Kate screamed the whole time and I was lucky to have a stranger hold Alex so I could control Kate.  This time both kids had a great time!

Next we tried to have the kids play on the playground but there were way too many big kids.  So we headed down to the creek.  Both kiddos walked in the water and loved it!

Then we needed some lunch, so after the kids ate, Gram got Kate her very first snowcone!!  She said she only wanted a pink one, because you know that's her favorite color!

Then we headed to the Botanical Gardens.

Kate loved walking on the pathways

He loves smelling the flowers

Alex was so cute at the gardens!  He wanted to smell all the flowers and he kept saying "pretty flowers."  Kate on the other hand wanted to play hide and seek or something and had a melt down.  I felt sorry for the people who were trying to relax and enjoy the beautiful gardens and had to listen to her screaming instead!
