A Visit from Oma

We've been really busy wrapping up summer.

Two days after we returned from Atlanta, we had another visitor -- Oma!

Friday morning, we went to the airport to pick her up. She greeted us with fun Red Sox hats!

After a nice lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, EZ's, we headed to Sandy's Shoes to pick up Turner's first pairs of shoes.

Turner picked out two pairs of sandals, one navy blue and one red. They're really cute on his little feet. At first he tried to pull and chew them off, but he seems to like them now. We also found some fun toys while we were at Sandy's. I got a letter magnet chalkboard and Hazel picked out a ballerina puzzle.

We chilled out at home and our park that afternoon and evening, but hit the splash pad Saturday morning. Hot and tired, we had lunch at another favorite, Taco Cabana. Oma said it wouldn't be a trip to Austin without hitting TC. After everyone napped, we grocery shopped at Costco, then had a fun dinner at Five Guys with dessert from Amy's Ice Cream. I was super excited because I ate my ice cream on a cow!

Sunday was the last day of Oma's quick trip, so we made the most of it and headed down to San Antonio. On the way down, we had to stop for diapers so Oma took us to a commissary on a military base. I've never been on a military base before! Once we got to San Antonio we had a fun Tex-Mex lunch, then went on a riverboat tour on the Riverwalk. Turner really liked the ducks. Mom had to hold on to him so he wouldn't jump out of the boat after them. Hazel and I decided boats are a fun way to travel. Oma and Mom thought it was hot.

Next we visited the San Antonio Children's Museum and almost closed it down before heading home to Austin. We had dinner at one of Mom's favorites, a Mexican place in South Austin called Polvo's. Then we said goodbye to Oma and went to bed. When we woke up the next morning, she was gone!

We're glad Oma could visit! It was a lot of fun.
