This is the view from our apartment in Austin. We are right downtown and so close to so many fun activities. We are going to have an awesome summer. The first Sunday that we were here we showed up to church only to find and empty chapel (we came back an hour later to find they were having a special Stake Conference) so we killed an hour by wandering around the Capitol building.
The first week we hit the ground running doing lots of fun things. We went to the Botanical Gardens where along with the butterfly garden we also did a "fairy trail" walk where there were little fairy houses set up among the plants along the trail. It was sort of like a scavenger hunt along with the walk through the beautiful plants.
Another fun thing from our first week was going to see the bats. We live right off of the bridge that houses the largest urban bat colony so of course we had to go watch them come out to feed at dark. Unfortunately, this being summer dark doesn't happen until 9:30. Everybody was so exhausted by the time the bats finally made their appearance that Collin and I were surprised that the girls still seemed interested and enjoyed watching them fly out.
