Zilker Zephyr

Last Wednesday started our "James is turning 2" party-fest. I took him and Izzy down to Zilker Park to ride the Zilker Zephyr. Having lived here in this area for nearly 7 years now, I am surprised this is something I had never done before. Especially after James arrived. So when my friend Jennifer suggested we take the kids there I jumped at the chance.

James had a blast! He's so obsessed with trucks and cars and trains that this was right up his ally. I was a little worried as this was our first outting as a trio. Normally JL is around to provide crowd control for James while I lug around Izzy. But, James was a perfect angel and I had no trouble at all.

The ride was about 20 minutes long. It winds around the park, goes under a bridge, and skirts the lake. James saw turtles, frogs, fish, birds and a squirrell. I don't think he blinked the whole time we were on the ride!

Afterwards we took the kids over to the playscapes to burn off some of their excitement. James had a great time climbing on the fire engine and going down the slide. When it was all said and done and we were ready to go I had two exhausted kiddo's on my hands. Just the way I like them!
