To distract us all from the pain of losing a sister/aunt/sister-in-law to Scotland today, my mother in law came all the way from Dallas to visit us and cheer us up! We went to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center right outside of San Antonio (otherwise known as South Austin). I do not recommend going in the Fall, it was a bit like paying $7 a head to look at dried grass and mosquito breeding ponds. Oliver however, did not care one bit about the flowers. He was far too busy pointing out the "OWs" (cacti) and trying to go into restricted areas. Here are some pictures. From our trip I have learned the following things about toddler ownership.
1. Ponds are for throwing rocks into
2. Sometimes the wind needs help to make the best music
3. Running is only fun when you are running ahead, not running behind.
4. Wildflowers are for looking at, but they smell bad
5. Spineless cacti are a great way to freak out your mom
6. Flower sniffing is exhausting!
After our wildflower perusing, we had a lunner (lunch/dinner) at Threadgills. Did you know they have free refills on sides!!? Holy crap it blew my ever-loving mind!! How long have I been going there, wishing I could get just a bit more macaroni or a titch more collard greens and wished I could, but was afraid to be charged another $3? How could I not know!? I told the waitress it was ON next visit, and I meant it, and she knew it...I saw the fear in her eyes.

Haha, too cute! And, I'm of course talking about your love of sides. Miss y'all already!
You left the part out about how lovely it will be in the spring and how you can't wait to go back. Right?
