Austin

Since Texas won the college poll, we decided to take Owen down to Austin over Columbus day weekend. We had a great time taking Owen around to all our old haunts (the Econ department, Changos, Club de Ville, etc...), and visiting friends and family. We stayed with my Aunt Janis & Uncle Truman, and Pop Pop was there too. Owen had a great time chasing their dog Brandy, and I'd be convinced he had the word 'doggy' down pat if he didn't call so many other things something that sounds suspiciously similar. When he wasn't chasing the dog, Owen was playing the piano or playing catch with his great grandfather.

On Sunday we had to amend our plans for a bbq over at Channing & Kelly's when their son Calder came down with pink eye. Instead, Kelly and Calder dropped Channing off at Trudy's to meet us and Ned & Amanda for lunch. Hopefully next time we're in Texas Calder will be up for a play date. That afternoon we took Owen on a tour of campus, and a visit to the LBJ library. Thankfully there weren't too many people at the Library just before closing time on Sunday afternoon, because Owen had a great time running around, watching the animatronic LBJ, and listening to the echo of his own laughter. I'm not sure if all the archivists in the family should be proud or horrified ;-)
