Dill Pickle

I have a favorite new quote from Will. When he and his daddy come to a compromise they'll shake hands and Ben will say "deal?". To which Will follows with a "dill pickle!"

We had a nice family outing this past Memorial Day. We've decided to take advantage of the time we have left with Ben before he gets called to the academy and spend some time doing the fun things around this city before we ultimately move.

We started with a stroll on the riverwalk. We learned from a passing tour guide that these birds from the gulf comes to nest in the trees above the river.I love the "hairs" on the top of his head.

We then headed to the Rainforest Cafe. I thought Will would love it....but, not so much. He spent the entire time like this


But I guess you would too if you were two and sitting directly across from this


Jack, however, was enthralled.


We then headed to the San Antonio Botanical Garden. We even had our own "little guide".


I think the orchids were some of my favorite flowers there.


But we got some potential ideas for our yard, pending our relocation!


After an enjoyable day, what trip wouldn't be complete without admiring the local wildlife.


Isn't he cute. This little guy was on the steps leading to the garden entrance. I felt bad that we made the poor thing feel trapped, but we couldn't help but get some shots of him.
{Lauren, this should be your next "thing" to create. Couldn't you see it, using some fuzzy/hairy yarn?}
