Caves and Some Other Stuff

 Before Natalie and Brian went to Montreal we had a few days together in Austin.

The kids have been to the Inner Space Caverns, but Brian and I had not.

It is really cool actually!

It is really odd when you think about how 35 is right over your head!

Matthew had a lot of questions.

Brian bought them some mining sand to find gems.

I want to do silver mining when we go to Colorado too.

 Of course, we went to Salt Lick too.

The girls were a little sad that Natalie was leaving.

It's hard to believe Meagan went on her trip with Grandma Lois a full year ago.

We also went to an Express game, but I don't think I got any photos from it.

We ran into a ton of people that we know there!

After dropping Brian and Nat off, we made a quick stop at Callahan's.

It's fun to see all the birds and pigs!

Summertime fun

 Meagan got a subtle purple stripe in her hair.

Apparently, very subtle, since you can't see it here.

It actually looks really good!

 Well, this was the best of the photos I took of Matthew with his current favorite girlfriend.

He told us on the way home that "her beauty shines like a diamond."

 A few of my friends and I went to the Oasis last week.

Guess what?

That is WATER in the lake!

My cousin Michael and his family came to town last weekend.

Meagan and her cousin Soledad love each other!

Meanwhile, Natalie is off with her uncles in Montreal.

They are having a blast!
