Mini-J in Austin

A couple of weeks ago, Mini-J came to stay with Aunt Dana and Uncle Nick. I met her mommy in Temple to pick her up. Then we took all the "slides" (a.k.a hilly interstate roads) to Austin. We spent some time at the really cool playground at the shopping center across the street from us while we were waiting to watch Toy Story 3...on opening weekend. Mini-J liked the movie and only spent a little time in my lap.

On Monday, we got ready for Vacation Bible School. Mini-J seemed really excited about it, apparently until I left her there. Nicholas spent the second half of the morning with Mini-J at VBS, but that was her last day. Monday afternoon, Uncle Nick took Mini-J to the Austin Nature Center for exploring and animal observing. Mini-J really liked the exploration room.
We took her swimming Monday night, but she has not spent much time in the pool. She did fine in the kiddie pool, but was not really interested in getting off the steps in the big pool, even when we offered to carry her around ourselves.
Tuesday, since Mini-J wasn't interested in VBS, Uncle Nick took her to a free movie event to see Ice Age 3. Then they went to Zilker park for some more playground time because Mini-J LOVES playgrounds.
Since Mini-J didn't want to go to VBS, and Aunt Dana had more work to do than she was expecting during the day, her mommy came to pick her up sooner than expected. We had a great time with Mini-J, and look forward to more alone time with her in the future. On a side note, her breakfast of choice was Wheat Chex (super hippie food) with no prompting from Aunt Dana!
