On Sunday evening (on the recommendation of 2 sets of friends) we went to the Zilker Hillside Theater to see a production of DREAM! A Midsummer Night's Dream with a 1960's Music Beat. It was hot - the weather, I mean. So very hot. We have a suggestion for the people that put on these summer programs: How about Winter Shakespeare in the Park? We would totally go for that. Summer heat + lots of people committed to keeping Austin weird + all of their dogs = Not as much fun as it could be. Just a suggestion. Winter. I have a coat. It would be awesome. In spite the heat, though, we really did have an awesome time. Next year, we plan to hit the April shows.
My kiddos, aren't they sweet? They only complained a little. Only fidgeted a lot. In the end, they were enchanted. There were fairies. And 60's music. 
The kids got to meet the fairies at intermission. Can you say, HIGHLIGHT? This is Emma with Mustardseed (I think.)
Jared with Puck, a very mischievous fairy.On Monday, we went with some friends to Bull Creek (our first time after many, many years in Austin.) There is no better way to beat the heat than to have your ten little piggies submerged in cool flowing water. Ahhhh.
My son, so serious, about to slide down the slippery rock 'slide.' From his expression, you'd think he was about to go for the gold.
Tadpole fishing. Good times.
Not my kid, our friends' kid. He doesn't know it, but I love him. He used to think I was okay, when he was four. Now, he's not sure he knows me. Oh, to be 8 again, carefree, and bask in the creek bed!
Not my baby - our friends' baby (the cutest baby EVER!) When Titus helped her go back to her mother, a child who was playing nearby told him, "Someone's stealing your baby!"
This face, this sweet, adorable face, pretty much sums up Memorial Day weekend 2010.

Those are terrific pictures! Of course, I'm partial to the one of Eliza and Emma. So glad you (or Titus) caught it before they were off and running again!
What fun! IT's always better to do things with friends :)
