We are so lucky to have family that comes and visits! My dad, grandma, papa and my dad's girlfriend all came to visit us last weekend. Of course Ethan got extremely spoiled with lots of attention. He loved every minute of it, showing off his new ability to pull himself up on furniture, wave, give high fives, and clapping. Our little guy is finally at the age that he can interact with people so its really a treat to see everyone interacting with him. It was extremely hot, in the triple digits so we didn't go outside much. But we made due. Friday night we went out to dinner and had an excellent meal at North by Northwest. My grandma couldn't stop raving about the sauce on her steak and we all enjoyed some of their delicious brewed beer. After we went over to the Oasis for some after dinner cocktails and to watch the sunset over Lake Travis. We found a great table off to the corner and sat on the deck it was absolutely perfect (except it probably could have been a few degrees cooler).

Saturday we decided that we wanted some good old fashion Texas BBQ. A couple of people told us about a place called Louie Muellers in Taylor Texas. This place was so authentic it didn't have air conditioning, the walls were probably white at one point but are now brown from years of smoking meat in there. They had a wall of business cards that were also brown from the smoke. I don't think you could get more old fashion as you did there. The line was out the door so we battled the heat and waited an hour for our BBQ. Everyone shoveled down ribs, brisket and turkey all agreeing it what delicious but starving from the wait. Next time I think that we will place an order to go!

Sunday was fathers day and Matt's birthday! We cooked up a nice brunch including linguicia they had brought from California to keep the Wakerling brunch tradition going. Bill and Gerry joined us as well so it was quite the celebration. We had scheduled an air conditioned bus tour of Austin for later in the afternoon but some freak traffic ( I have never seen traffic like that since I've been here) we ended up canceling and got stuff to make homemade pizzas. Matt makes his own dough and everything, it is absolutely delicious if I do say so myself. Everyone watched True Grit and after we had birthday cake! Overall it was a great weekend.
