Anyway, lets get to the in-laws visit. We were sad to leave South Carolina after Christmas because we didn't know the next time we would see any family. We had a super busy end of 2013 so there were many times we flew to see family. Each time we would leave we would just say "see you in a month" or something, so this time, we didn't know what to say and it was so sad.
Then Mr. Hunt's parents told us they were thinking about driving down to see us. They wanted to make a long trip out of it where they would take their time driving here and back and visit places along the way. Plus it was good because then we didn't have to ship all of Jane's birthday and Christmas gifts, they just brought them with them.
Let me tell you....it was certainly like Christmas all over again when they got here. There were new toys everywhere and Jane didn't know what to do. Mr. Hunt and I got to see our presents again and actually use them...so it was fun!
So they showed up on Friday afternoon and they got a lot of Jane time while we waited for Mr. Hunt to come home from work. This was also when Jane got to see all her gifts again. That night, we went to Lucy's for some fried chicken and then to Amy's for Ice Cream.
On Saturday, Mr. Hunt and Paw paw went to the shooting range to shoot their guns as well as grandaddy Hunt's gun. Mimi, Jane and I went shopping on Congress. Ive been living one street down from Congress of almost a year now, and this was the first time Ive actually gone into the little shops. Mr. Hunt isn't really into that kind of stuff so if we ever go over there its for food. There were a ton of cute stuff in the shops, and I can't wait to go back.
Then we went to Tourchy's Tacos for some lunch. Here is Jane waiting on the food.
Jane spent a lot of the weekend playing with this balloon like I mentioned in the last post.
Saturday afternoon we took the drive to the original Salt Lick.
We love going there because you get to sit outside and enjoy the weather and band (although there wasn't a band this time) while you wait for a table.
Plus its great food!
The weather was great and Jane liked sitting on Pawpaw's lap as well as running around a bit too.
Mimi and Paw paw gave her a sip of lemonade as well. She still isn't fond of any drink but water.
She also loved sitting/standing/dancing on the table.
This isn't a good picture of Jane, but I just love Mimi's look.....
Here is my baby and I!
Sunday was a relaxing day. But we did try to go see the bats on Congress Street. If you don't know, there are a million bats living under the Congress Street bridge in downtown Austin. Every night at sunset they come flying out and it draws a bunch of people to watch. Apparently its not every night though, because apparently they had flown to Mexico since it was so cold out.
So, we just played on this grassy hill with Jane for a bit while waiting.
Then once we noticed they weren't coming, we went to have some yummy Mexican food for dinner.
Monday, Mr. Hunt had to go to work, so Mimi, Paw paw, Jane and I went to run some errands. It was a slow day. Then we went to Hop Doddy's for dinner which is a popular burger restaurant. It was super yummy!
Tuesday morning was the day they were leaving, so we put Jane in her wagon and walked to get some treats for them to go. Jane was having a crazy hair day.
She (and the fur babies) were sad to see them go
Mr. Hunt and I were too of course. Again, its hard not knowing when we will see family next. Hopefully sooner than later.
Love,
Jennifer
