Natural bridge caverns

We went to the natural bridge caverns and enjoyed some great cave tours, as well as a huge climbing/ropes course, which Colin loved.

We went out on the Colorado river in Austin this morning. It was a lovely morning for it! Birding highlight of the day was a black-crowned night heron. It made up for the dozens of great-tailed grackles.

Bat watching

There are 1.5 million bars that live under the Congress St bridge in Austin. Some night they all come out from under the bridge in a big cloud of bats and head up the river to eat bugs.

Last night, because it’s still maternity season, we saw quite a few bats, but no big cloud. We waited until after sunset just to be sure, but no luck. It was a nice night to sit outside, at least!

Road trip

While Laura is at camp, we are taking a little TX road trip with Colin. He was thrilled to have a new magazine to read en route to Austin.

And she’s off!

After much anticipation, Laura’s farewell at camp lasted about 30 seconds. She is so thrilled to be there, and we hope that her three weeks are as wonderful as she expects.

At least she grudgingly posed for a photo!
