On Saturday Carrie and her friends used their Mother’s Day present which was a complete girls day without husbands or kids. They spent the day at a prestigious health spa at a very low rate. The husbands decided we would try and get together with the kids and chose Zilker park as the destination. On our way their I needed to stop and get some gas. While I was pumping McKenna was screaming something from inside the car. I peeped my head and and asked her what was up. She pointed behind me and said “Camel Camel Camel!!” I turned around and sure enough!

So we chose the playground at Zilker at 10:30 which is a huge playground usually with lots of kids… and easy access parking. Unfortunately for me the parking was 3$ a car.. and they were only taking cash (which is pretty rare these days) and I had $0. My option was to drive around the block and park. Ordinarily this was not a big deal but I had no way of transporting the girls effectively. I carried Maya and McKenna walked most of the way… at an extremely slow pace. We were running late so I ended up porting both girls in my arms for the last .25 miles. It seems like I have been doing that too much lately. The funny thing was that the other guys were not there by the time I arrived about 7 minutes late.
The park was packed with kids…. it was pretty difficult to keep track of McKenna and Maya was too little for most of the equipment. So we decided that it was time for lunch at 11. The other guys brought strollers so I was able to place McKenna in one and carry only Maya to the restaurant a block away. Lunch went well.

By the time lunch was over I knew I had to get home to meet Migi who was coming down for the weekend. It was also supposed to storm soon. I walked the girls back to the car. The street we had to walk along was very busy so I carried the girls the majority of the walk. I good workout to be sure. But relief was on the way soon when I got home in the form of Migi. When we got home the girls had a blast playing with Migi the rest of the day. Particularly McKenna as Doctor was the game of choice.

Sunday we all went for a hike in a place called the basin just up on Highway 360. It was a nice hike.
