A Special Trip

I went to Austin for a fun time over the weekend. My youngest daughter invited several members of the family to attend a fundraiser hosted by an organization she belongs to.

The festivities were all outside despite that it was a wee bit cooler than forecast.

Although, the kids didn't seem to mind, especially when they saw that there was a petting zoo with a very fluffy rabbit,

a turtle who was, despite his reputation, pretty fast on his feet

and even fuzzy ducklings to hold.

I was surprised by the nice selection of animals, even a kangaroo.

This colorful gentleman would make a balloon animal for you

or you could try your hand at an interesting game of croquette.

If, by chance, you were still hungry after the scrumptious brunch, you could visit the cotton candy booth

or have your face painted. Hannah and her cousin Olivia ended up with matching rabbit faces.

....and finally the much anticipated egg hunt. As you can see it wasn't much of a "hunt" They did thankfully have different areas for the age groups, so that the little ones at least had a chance.

My niece Sara was shocked at how many eggs her boys collected.

A special thanks to my daughter Katy and her Hannah for inviting us and hosting us in their lovely home. It was so much fun seeing so many people in the pretty Easter clothes.

So to all of you I wish a Happy Easter, Happy Passover or Happy Spring from TEXAS where cowboy boots go with everything!
