Duck Adventure and Friends

My old friend Carmen, her boyfriend Shawn and his daughter Ellie, came to town this week. We all got to hang out on Monday and had lots of fun. We went on the Great Austin Duck Adventure. It takes you on a tour of downtown and then splashes into Lake Austin. The best part of course is that they give everyone duck quackers and we quack at people on the streets of Austin. The quacking was Tyler's favorite part, unlike driving into the water, when he announced that he didn't want to because he didn't have his floaties.
Carmen with her quacker and the UT Tower. Dylan loving the water and Tyler asking when we will be back on land.

After the duck tour we went to lunch at the Hula Hut, a Austin landmark restaurant. It is right on the lake and we sat outside on the deck over the water. Tyler was okay with this for some reason and enjoyed seeing the huge fish and turtles in the water below.

Thanks for hanging out with us Carm. We had a really fun time and enjoyed finally meeting Shawn and Ellie. Wish you all were closer to see you all more often.

Yay! I had so much fun with you guys! It was so fun to see you and Jeff and the fam! Your kids are so cute - I can't stop thinking about them. Shawn keeps talking about how great Tyler was. He just thought he was such a cool little boy. I miss you all already! :)

I went on the Ride the Ducks here in Seattle about a month ago. It was pretty cool. We got the duck calling whistle things too. Luckily Dallin has learned to work it yet.
