About two weeks ago our dear friends, Brenda, JP and Ryder, came to Texas for a visit! It was so nice to have some familiar faces here in Austin and we had a great time showing them around the city.
We took them to the top of Mt. Bonnell so they could see views of Lake Austin. It was so warm that day it felt like summer!
The kids just picked up right where they left off! They certainly have a special friendship.
On Valentines evening my sister Madison and her boyfriend Blake kept the kids for us so we could have a night out. They were so great to help us out and were able to celebrate their Vday a day late here in Austin. And what did we do???? We went to maybe the best live concert I've ever been to at the Moody Theater, where Austin City Limits is filmed. We saw Bob Schneider and the Moonlight Orchestra (local favs) and had an amazing time! I loved every second of it! I guess he puts on this show every Valentines Day, so this might have to become an annual event for us.
Owen had a cheering section the next morning at his soccer game!

We took them to the Texas State Capitol one afternoon and had a picnic on the capitol grounds.
We also shopped on South Congress, ate BBQ at Salt Lick and ice cream at Amy's, and played disc golf. We tried to give them the full Austin experience and I think we did pretty good for the amount of time we had.

We are so grateful for their visit and miss them every single day. Hope to catch up again this summer in Tahoe!
