One Saturday morning, BW and I were in town, we missed our vacation to West Texas because of a crazy stomach/throat bug going around day care, and ended up checking out the Austin Nature and Science Center with one of our good buddies. This center is just off Zilker Park and is free!

We parked underneath the Mopac bridge and headed in for an adventure. We saw owls, road runners, a stinky skunk that had sprayed someone that morning and walked around the pond to the main attraction of the day – the dino pit. We spent the morning scooping sand. Luckily, there are a few spots in the shade.   Had some snacks and then headed to Austin Java for a pancake lunch.

It was a great morning to get the boys outside and have fun with little effort from the mamas.
