Day 6: February 14. San Antonio to Austin, TX

After a late night, the boys slept in a bit, Finn especially. Liam once again relished the hotel breakfast buffet, sampling a blueberry muffin, fruit loops, eggs, bacon, 2 cups of milk, and some hot chocolate. I think he’s feeling better.
This morning we are going to the zoo and to ride the train, and then off to Austin to see Heather, Dave, Andy, and Ethan.
The boys enjoyed the train ride a lot, and really liked all of the animals at the zoo, especially the ones we don’t have in the Nashville zoo. Finn decided that an area of Africa Live! Was our cage, and we needed to stay there. There were eggs in one cornder of our “cage” and both boys decided they needed to sit on them. Liam also showed a surprising interest in snakes, saying that he was scared of them, but they interested him. They also enjoyed the lion, bears, kangaroos, komodo dragons, and the baby gibbon. The baby gibbon was a big hit with us because it kept sneaking out of its cage and swinging on the outside. It was all arms and legs, and impossibly cute.
After the zoo, we drove to Austin, with naps on the way, and arrived at “Andy’s house”. The boys were so happy to be at a house with such fabulous toys. Matt and I also really enjoyed the legos. The boys tied the plasma cars together and dragged each other all over the house. They also played dress us and spied around the house. Going to bed was not entirely successful, but eventually they all went to sleep. We had a chance to visit, too, and thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the boys together.
