Let's Go Fly A Kite

Over the weekend Clint and I went and had some fun adventures with our favorite couple, Marissa and Moses!

On Sunday was the Austin Kite Festival and Marissa and I were itching to fly a kite since neither one of us had in awhile. We searched for some in a couple different places and finally found some reasonably priced ones at Wal-Mart. The cheapest kites were cartoons but we didn't care, we just wanted to fly a kite! We each picked out a kite and since it was so late in the day, the choosings were minimal...

Marissa- The Green Lantern
Moses- Spiderman
Clint- Yoda
Me- Winnie the Pooh

Throughout the day Marissa and I kept singing "Lets go fly a kite" from Mary Poppins! If you don't remember that song, watch below:)



So before we could fly our kites Moses wanted to go to an ice cream place that he said had the best authentic Mexican ice cream. This is what we pulled into...

We were skeptical on going into this place but I have to say, it was SO GOOD! I got a chocolate popsicle ice cream stick and it was soooo good.

So after ice cream we headed to a nearby field and had so much fun with our kites! It was like being a kid again. We tied all of ours together before leaving and used all the extra string, making our kites 650ft in the air! (We are hardcore kite flyers)

It was the perfect day.

Picnic by the River

Last week Hillary planned for her and I and Clint and Maverick to go on a picnic! She went to the store and bought so much yummy food, check it out:

We even had a state of the art picnic basket/cooler! It was perfect to pack along all of our food and Blueberry wine!

We spread our blanket next to the river and stacked some turkey, cheese and pepperoni on pretzel thins. It was the perfect thing to eat on a picnic.

After stuffing our faces with all the food Clint decided we needed to take couple's pictures on the tree.

**Please note that Hillary and Maverick are dressed super cute and Clint and I are dressed like bums for no particular reason. haha! oh well, its all about the love:)

I hope you have a great week!

Double Date Night

Yesterday was jam packed with activities since 10:00am! Well the beginning of the day was not too exciting due to the fact that I spent it at summer school. Thankfully next week is our last week!:) I am so excited.

My mom, brother Cole, and his friend Adam drove down from Houston on Thursday. My mom and I drove to South Austin to try on wedding dresses while Clint took the boys to show them around Texas State. He is trying to convince Adam to come here on a football scholarship! (Do it Adam!!)

Meanwhile my mom and I had absolutely no luck at David's Bridal. The dresses were all beautiful but none of them really jumped out at me as "the" one. Once we were done we decided to eat dinner at one of our favorite places to eat together, La Madeline! I ordered an amazing cup of tomato basil soup, ceasar salad and pasta salad. It was so good! I could eat their tomato basil soup every night!

After dinner my mom and I headed back to the apartment to meet the boys. After a long day everyone decided to sit around the couch and watch "Swamp People". I had never seen the show before but was intrigued. It follows the lives of families that catch alligators and live on swamps. The best part of the show is the people. They are hilarious.

Look at how focused everyone is on the show, haha. Can you spot the two furry babies?

After that amazing display of intellectual television we all decided it was time to call it a night.

The next morning after class my mom, Clint, Cole and Adam picked my up and we headed straight to New Braunfels to float the Comal River. It took us close to an hour to find a parking spot! It was crazy. We thought we could beat the system and parked in the Schlitterbahn parking lot, but we got kicked out:/ After finally finding a place to park we blew up our toobs and headed to the river!

We enjoyed relaxing on the river and soaking up the sun, but when we got home I realized how tired being outside all day makes me. But then Clint informed me that he had planned a surprise double date with our friends Grant and Christi so there was no time to rest! I was immediately excited 1. Because I LOVE doubling with Christi and Grant because they are hilarious and awesome. 2. I love surprises!!

Our surprise double date took us to the Corral Theater in Wimberley which is an outdoor movie theater that shows movies under the stars!

We were under the impression that the Corral Theater was picnic style. So Clint and Grant had packed blankets and tons of pillows for us to lay out on on "their huge grassy field" as Clint thought. We were definitely wrong but it was still so much fun! We saw the premiere of Cars 2 so we were surrounded by tons and tons of precious little kids who were so excited to see Lightning McQueen!

We had so much fun! I loved how I could look up at anytime during the movie and see so many beautiful stars! Clint did such a great job planning this double date:)
