Trip to Abilene/Paris

Matt spent a few days this past weekend in Austin for the SXSW festival. Since his parents were on a fabulous vacation in Rome, I decided not to take the kids to Austin. We went to Abilene and also made a brief side trip to Paris. The kids had a great time, especially at the park and the zoo.

They also got plenty of books...



All the Motz kids

Shannon took some photos in Paris. Here's one of them...

Emma enjoyed Memaw C's cooking utensils.



Both kids were laughing at theirMemaw making faces behind me...

The Abilene Zoo has an amazing park. Morgan has never had so much fun!



He tried to feed the animals...

...while Emma busily poked her fingers into the cracks.





Pepaw met us there and we watched the ducks.



It was Emma's first trip to the zoo and she was very interested in everything.

She got a little scared when the giraffe's tongue came out.
