More beer in day 3 (Austin)

In order to make the boys a little happier with a day of shopping, beer was found as often as they could. But they were very understanding the whole days, and tried to make the ladies happy all day.

Devin went to work this morning, which clearly let all of us sleep in... No we just all slept till 10:30. In the morning Lola also slept pass 10, which meant she didn't have time to blog before she could go get babies, they did sleep in, but not enough time to finish. We had a good morning of breakfast, playing then nap before lunch.
Dressed and ready for breakfast.
Toast and peanut butter, blueberries, avacado and milk!

Turner was a little grumpy today, which could be the massive molars he is trying to grow...but a little recycling kept them entertained for a lot of the play time.

While the babies napped, AA decided to go check out the tree in the backyard, it is pretty amazing! Mell and Lola checked out the backyard, and discussed planting seasons in Texas and her plans to grow in the 3 seasons available to her.
Devin came home and lunch was prepared by Lola and AA. Hamburgers in the bbq. The babies and adults all enjoyed another lunch meal!
My lettuce wrap hamburgers really turned out!
After Devin napped and we got the twinkies ready for the shopping adventure, off to "the domain" lots of shops and development happening there. Mell and Lola got a few things... Even a new laptop! The boys and babies were very patient, even when we spent an hour in one store... 
Excited in the "parkade" or as Americans call it, parking garage!
Lots of construction... Look at the pile of plans!

After successful shopping, with lots of shorts purchased in Banana Republic, it was off to find the Yardhouse! Twinkies had an excellent kids meal to share!
The adults really enjoyed the pizza crusts!
And the drinks.
Half yard of beer each!
Mojito for Mell!

The waitress was very good to us, told us stories, and explained how her brother got married in Hawaii during her senior year in finals,  so she couldn't go, as well as how difficult it was to change her drivers license to Texas, because it borders with Mexico, as well as the resturant only opened 2 weeks ago.
Here is the photos of the food.
Baby corn for B.
T loving his supper.
AAs stacked enchiladas 
 Tacos for Devin
Pineapple Hawaiian chicken thing for Mell
And seared Ahi for Lola!
Oh and don't forget about the dessert beer for the boys!
Double fisting!

The girls wanted to go to Whole Foods which was close by so they thought they had a great idea of the boys taking the twinkies and going to get the van while the ladies walk. The ladies got about half way, when Lola asked Mell if the boys should be driving.... Mell quickly pulled out her phone... Moments later the boys made their way walking to meet us. Don't worry while they waited outside, they found beer to drink outside on the patio of Whole Foods.
Selfie they took while ladies bought some food for dole whip and food for Lola to enjoy for the next 2 days.

Lola took this photo as they finished off their 2nd dessert beer.

The ladies tried to get Bs haircut at a place close by, for men, which they would have done but the places was just closing, maybe the next place we find.

after that we made our way back to the van, and traveled home. The rest of the evening consisted of some VR for the boys, laundry for the ladies, and some ice cream and beer, as well a selfie off between the family back in Morden and us here is Austin.


Lastly a movie, and soon bed time.

Sad that tomorrow is our last full day here. I don't really want to leave but that is life. Hope you all had a great long weekend!
