Jeremy was at work one day a few months ago and heard about Toy Story 3 on ice coming to Cedar Park (north of Austin), so he got the tickets and we decided to make a weekend out of it. This was the first time we had traveled with the girls and stayed in a hotel with them (we hadn't even done this with Kayla!). To my surprise, we had a wonderful weekend and nothing worse than I expected happened with sleeping arrangements (which was our main concern).
We started off at the Austin Children's Museum, which is incredible!
There is an entire room of exhibits that uses golf balls to show force,
ramps, speed, angles, and tons of other cool concepts. This was one of
Kayla's favorite parts and it kept us so busy, I have no pictures of it.

| Such a big girl to be sitting up! She still needs support because she'll topple over easily, though! |
 |
| This is the tiny tot spot where Sabrina and I played for quite a while (she's holding a golf ball). |
 |
| We watched this go over and over! Sabrina's head went side to side like she was watching a tennis match! |
 |
| The piggy parachute drop held Kayla's attention for quite a while. The parachute is attached to a clip and you operate the pulley to bring the clip to the top where it opens in a funnel to send the piggy sailing down! |
I love these art pieces that were mounted on plexi-glass over the windows. If you look closely you can tell that all the objects are bottle caps from soda, detergent, and other recycled lids.
 |
| We made a rolling vehicle and tested it on this ramp. |
 |
| "Will you make me a taco?" |
 |
| This volume station was surprisingly interesting to her...it was toward the end of our trip and we were waiting for her to get bored but she was enthralled for at least 30 minutes. Good thing Sabrina was snoozing in the wrap! |
This will be a fun place to visit again as the girls grow up because there were tons of exhibits and many were for older kids.

| Driving to the hotel, hand still reaching for a goldfish! |
