Walks in Austin

We took several nice walks in the neighborhood of Andy’s parents’ house, most of them in the Walnut Creek park.

Grandpa Jim plays catch-up, as usual …

Leilani and Grandma Rosemary stand out from the drab landscape:

On our first night walk in the neighborhood we took photos of these displays and Leilani in mittens:

While Rosemary and I went shopping for craft materials, the “guys” take Leilani on the little trails down to the stream:

We went to 37½th Street in Austin which has very artsy (and funky) displays. We found illuminated fish, aliens, polititians and other creepy things. Oh and we also found 2 good puns: “The Baby Cheeses” and “Soy to the world.” And a black cat…
