Zilker Kite Festival/ Festival de Barriletes en Zilker

Happy Spring Break!! I have really enjoyed having this week off to spend time with Claudio and the babies. Every day this week I have ventured out alone with the babies to do something. I am determined not to be intimidated/scared of taking two nine-month-olds out into public alone-- so far it's working! This past Sunday Claudio and I took Mila and Lucca to the Zilker Kite Festival. It's basically just a big gathering of people (a few thousand of them!) who all come to Zilker Park to fly their kites. We brought a picnic lunch, spread out on our blankets, and soaked up the sunny almost Spring day. The babies didn't really notice the kites unless they were right next to us, but they did have a wonderful time playing with the chip bags from our lunch! I'm always amazed at how well-behaved they are in public, (and at home, for that matter). They just sat there on the blanket playing, looking around, and smiling the whole time we were there. Here are some pictures from our fun day...

Felices Vacaciones de Primavera!! Realmente he disfrutado mucho tener un descanso del trabajo y poder pasar tiempo con Claudio y los bebes. Cada dia de esta semana he salido sola con los bebes para hacer algo fuera de la casa. Estoy convencida de no tener miedo de sacar a dos bebes de nueve meses en publico sola. Hasta ahora esta funcionando! El domingo pasado Claudio y yo llevamos a Mila y a Lucca al festival de barriletes en Zilker Park. Basicamente mucha gente, (miles de personas!), se junta en Zilker Park para remontar sus barriletes. Hicimos un picnic, nos tiramos en nuestros toallones, y disfrutamos del dia soleado. Los bebes realmente no le prestaron atencion a los barriletes al menos que estuvieran justo al lado nuestro, pero si la pasaron genial jugando con las bolsas de papas fritas de nuestro almuerzo! Siempre me sorprendo con lo bien que se portan en publico, (y en casa tambien de hecho). Se sentaron alli jugando en los toallones, mirando la gente, y sonriendo todo el tiempo. Aqui estan unas fotos de nuestro dia...

Mila looks like she's up to something in this picture..
