Wednesday night we headed down to Zilker Park to see the Trail of Lights with our good friends the Reners. We got down there early enough that we didn't even have to wait for a table at Shady Grove. The food was great--the kids, not so much. Matt had his fill shortly after the food arrived and was ready to get down and roam around or else succumb us all to deafening whines and thrashing limbs. Sigh. Looks like we need to take a break on restaurants for awhile.
We finished up and walked down to the Trail. Well, Matt strolled. No way that boy would have walked that whole way. Ava is a trooper and walked the whole way there and even ran part of it. The lights display was fantastic as always. I think Matt's favorite was the Winnie the Pooh scene. We stood there for quite a bit. We stopped to watch the dancers perform, and while Ava was mesmerized Matt's main concern was where the speakers were. That's where he was finally unleashed from his stroller. And as you can see, he took off.
Eventually we made it to the big tree...I say that because I was well behind everyone else huffing and puffing my way up the hill. Ugh. 5 more weeks, I can do it! Matt thoroughly enjoyed being spun around by his daddy over and over again. His dizzy stance afterward was hilarious.
We got home and Matt fell right asleep when he hit the bed. It was great. Next year we'll have a little 11 month old with us! Matt's going to have to give up the stroller and learn how to walk like the rest of us! And next year I won't be so out of breath. Yay!
