Lupe Tortilla and Old Town Spring

The Thomas family has a favorite restaurant in Texas. At least this is one Natalie really likes. She wanted us to go there with them for dinner.

 I like the sombrero lights.

Our fajitas were sizzling hot.

The tortillas were gigantic.

Emma ordered chicken fingers. Natalie has always loved steak.

 A frozen treat comes with each kid's meal.

Looks like all five kids--and one grandpa--loved their frozen desserts. When Laurie asked if we could buy an ice cream sandwich for Glen, the waiter said he would bring us one at no charge. So kind of him!!

After-dinner entertainment was retrieving coins out of the fountain and throwing them back in again.

Saturday was a great day because Jacob didn't have to work. A family excursion was decided upon and off we went to the Old Town Spring street festival. (Spring is the name of the city where they live.)

There were lots of interesting shops and restaurants.

Natalie, Logan, Luke and Emma posed with this Mickey Mouse impostor outside one of the stores.

Claire acted like she wanted to get out of her stroller and go see Mickey. Once she got closer, she got scared out of her wits and wanted nothing to do with the over-sized mouse.

Probably my favorite part of the festival was when we walked down a sidewalk that had metal art.

The kids posed by their favorite ones--sometimes striking up a pose to mimic the metal art.

Emma LOVES horses; hence she LOVED the painting of the horses.

Where's Natalie???

Walking back to the parking lot, a live turtle was spotted sunning itself in the murky water.

It was a beautiful day to be outside!
