Evacuating to Austin

On The Road...
This is a pretty long blog, hang in there,
because there are some great pictures to be seen!

Living on the Gulf Coast has its ups and downs. Sal would say that there are more downs than ups, and this past weekend would be the perfect example of a DOWN. Hurricane Gustav made its way into the Gulf which in turn forced a mandatory evacuation. Not wanting to be stuck here with an infant, we packed up my moms SUV (Thanks mom, you were a life saver) and headed to Austin. Of course the Zepeda's were more than happy to see us and get some quality time in with their newest grandson! Here's some pictures of our adventure in Austin - thanks to Gustav!

Grandpa and Isaac at Zilker Park

Ooooh Snow Cones!!!

What is this?!?
Don't worry, he only got the plain ice,
no Cherry Snow Cone for Isaac!

Weeee!!! Isaac's first ride down a slide!

So Serious!
We were on top of a HUGE fire truck in the play ground area.

1st Train Ride thru Zilker Park.
He watched as the ground "wizzed" by.

Sweet, tired, hot little boy!

Isaac and Stephanie
(Stephanie is married to Scotty, one of Sal's very best friends. I think she and I would be good friends if we lived closer. She is one of the warmest, genuine and fun people I 've ever met. She really inspired me to have fun with every moment, laugh and make others laugh! Thanks Stephanie!)

BATH TIME!
Isaac got to take a bath in the sink.
He will be too big next time we visit, so I had to capture the moment now!

Always chewing on his washcloth!

We also took a trip to San Marcos and New Braunfels to see our friends Cheri and Zach and to meet Caleb!! Cheri has the pictures of the boys together, I will post some soon! Here's Caleb though, he is so sweet and absolutely adorable! We had a great time visiting with them!

Caleb Andrew - the perfect combo of Cheri and Zach!

We also started feeding Isaac more "solids". He has really taken a liking to anything mixed with Cereal....this time we tried peas....

Even with a mouth full of peas, Isaac is still absoultely adorable!!

We had a great time visiting in Austin!
