Travelling Texas

Neil has to travel to the different offices his company has around Texas, and the month of July was a month of travel for everyone.  We spent 3 days in Tyler with the Edwards, a couple of days in Corpus Christi on the beach, and a couple of days between Austin and San Antonio.

Here we are with Terry in Tyler.

 While we were in Austin we went to the Barton Springs Pool to cool off in the evening.  (When I say "cool off" I mean it, the water is 68 degrees coming out of the ground.  The heat of Texas feels pretty good after a few minutes in the pool.)

Cecilia & Celso's Anniversary

Our friends Cecilia and Celso celebrated their anniversary in July and invited us over for Celso's famous barbeque to celebrate.  Julia enjoyed playing with Tici and we had a good time eating barbeque, cooling off in the pool, and eating the cake made to celebrate.
Congratulations!!!
 Here is a shot of the group after all of the fun.  From left to right, Renato, Tici, Julia, Celso, Natalia, Cecilia, Raquel, Emilia, and Neil.

Sesame Street at Sea World

For Raquel's birthday, we went to Sea World in San Antonio for the day.  One change for this year is they've added an area for the Sesame Street characters around the water play area.  We happened on the characters as they were taking pictures with people.  Julia really liked that.  I think it really ended up being more of a Julia day than a day for Raquel, but we all had a lot of fun.

Emilia's Eating

Emilia started eating food a while back.  Normally she eats pretty good, but in June she had a spell of not wanting to eat.  This made meals kind of messy.
