Half-Birthday Fun

Today was Weston's half-birthday, so he got to set the agenda for the day. He wanted his party to start at 7:00, so he set his alarm and hopped up at that time, and he and Jeff and I all headed out on the front porch with glasses of chocolate milk. Another goal he had for the day was to eat at Subway two times, so when the rest of the crew was up, we headed to Bee Cave for breakfast at Subway, a first for all of us. After that, we moved across the highway to the Hill Country Galleria to play in the interactive fountain. And we payed and played and played. Until it was time to eat Subway again. But this time, Jeff took orders for those interested (just Weston and Max) and picked up the sandwiches to be enjoyed picnic-style. (The rest of us opted for Mexican food at Iron Cactus). Then, there was more fountain playing, until it was shut down for the day, which was around 2:00. From there, we headed over to Barnes and Noble for some quiet reading, napping and train table playing. Finally, we had ice cream at Amy's, before heading to the other side of Austin for dinner with grandparents, an aunt and a cousin. It was a truly wonderful day with our 6 1/2-year-old!
