Visit with My Grandfather


The first week of school wrapped up nicely. I picked the kids up at 3:00 with a couple of ice-cold Sprites and we headed out to pick up Rod. My grandfather is visiting Mom and Dad this week. It is his first (and probably last) visit to Austin, as it is getting more difficult for him to travel. Rod went to lunch with them yesterday, and we all met them today for dinner.
We chose to eat at The Oasis, which is known for its view of Lake Travis. We were fortunate to get a table under an awning because a brief rainstorm blew through. The waitress was positive the sound of thunder was just the band moving around equipment--wrong!

We only heard a little bit of the band, but they were really great--the name was The Belleville Outfit. I'm definitely going to try to catch them again whenever they play again in Austin. This is the last free weekend before the actual soccer games start, although the kids have been practicing with their teams for a couple of weeks.

These pictures are great. The kids look like they are having a lot of fun and are seriously looking grown up these days!
