The excitement of catching Dorothy!

Thursday morning Sydney and I drove to Shiner to see my parents. My parents needed a Sydney fix and offered to keep her so we could celebrate our wedding anniversary this weekend! So, I stayed one night and left Sydney with my parents. Greg and I were very excited about having a weekend to go out to eat and to a movie. The things that excite us once we become parents! We went to Trattoria Lisina Restaurant in Driftwood which is located just outside of Austin. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling through the Hill Country area. The Mandola Winery Estate is located just next door. What a beautiful location! Here is their website for more information http://www.trattorialisina.com/ While I was in Shiner my mom thought it would be a great idea to get Sydney a goldfish. They have a lot of goldfish in their one water tank at the farm. So, we drove out to the farm on Thursday evening to get Dorothy. I thought it would only be right to call the goldfish Dorothy since Sydney is so into Elmo right now. You will see with each picture she gets closer and closer to the bowl. At one point her hand is in the bowl and Papa (binkie) also took a swim. I am a cat and dog person so Dorothy is going into my parents water tank at their house after Sydney returns tomorrow. She will get to visit Dorothy in her big bowl every time we go to Shiner! :)

Taking a look at Dorothy!

If I could only touch her!

Hey Dorothy!

Bonewald Family Beach Trip

What a great vacation! Last year it rained a lot at the beach and Sydney was sick so this was her first experience on the beach. She was not afraid! Sydney actually enjoyed being out in deeper water and feeling the crash of the waves. Her main concern seemed to be the helicopters and planes that flew over the beach. She kept saying, "bye plane!" At the pool she was busy practicing kicking and even jumped off the edge as I would count 1-2-3! Hallie and Sydney enjoyed being out on the deck and chasing bubbles. The house Greg's mom rented this year had three large decks with great views. We had a wonderful time and we can't wait to go back next year!
