Trip to Austin

Lily and her cake




Madeline






Going through the star tunnels.








Crossing rainbow bridge



Reading the map







My cousin Jenny lives in Austin, TX which is about a 3 hour drive from us. Her daughter turned 3 last week and we went to her birthday party on Saturday. Lily and Paige are only a few weeks apart in age. Paige turns 3 on April 14th. Lily had a Dora Adventure party. It was really cute. The kids were all given fanny packs with binoculars, a magnifying glass, friendship bracelets, and flash lights. They were given maps to try to find the pinata. They first had to cross rainbow bridge and then go through the star tunnels to get to the pinata. The girls had a blast. My cousin also has a little girl named Madeline that turned one this past Christmas Eve and is pregnant with a little boy due in June. It will be fun to have some family closer to us and fun that we both have two girls and a little boy.
