America Part 1: Austin, Rockport, San Antonio, Houston!

We are home!  So fun to be back in the States with family and friends!

 All of my packages waiting for me!

 One of our first stops, TARGET!

 These girls love Wolfgang! Eliza taking selfies with him

 No cavities!
We try and get all of the doctor's appointments done before MPR comes home

 A quick trip to Austin.  Huge highlight, meeting Baby Liam!  Rosina's baby boy!

Rockport for the 4th, of course!

Uncle Matt riding in the back with the girls!

 "Rockportians"


 Epic display of dancing primarily by Uncle Timmy...putting green poles and all

 Haylie and Olivia

 We decided to do a little weekend getaway to San Antonio with The Rays.  It was such a fun time!

 Eliza with her beloved, Nonna

 Gunther House, one of our favorites

 The Alamo 



 The yummy dinner we had a restaurant in the new Pearl Brewery District

After dinner we stumbled upon this free concert that encouraged dancing.  The girls had a ball!

On the way out of town, we went and found Ducky's grandfather, General's old house.  I had not see it since I was a child, but was able to find it.

Next up, Austin!  Our annual "Crash the Rhodes' Casa" weekend!  Always epic and always exhausting!

MPR tubing with the girls

The 360 Bridge

 MPR and Fife attempting the rope swing...not since college.

 The Weavers came over!  So great to see them.  The kids had so much fun together, as did the adults.

 Vietnamese Pancake at Elizabeth Street...so yummy

Eliza walking down The Drag "talking on her phone"

 ASTROS!!!  We met some of our dear Abu Dhabi friends at an Astro's game!

 The kids were on TV!

We went to dinner with our sweet friends, The Grings and The Hayes

  El Patio!  Mike was leaving the next day, before Olivia's actual birthday, so we had an early birthday dinner for her.

 An iPad mini!!!

 They were thrilled!
