The kiddos sure do love going for a hike / wade / swim at the nearby state parks. They have recently been to McKinney Falls State Park and Pedernales Falls State Park and have had a great time. Visit the website for Texas Parks & Wildlife and find a park near you. Each of these two parks are very near my favorite area: South Austin & Buda. That makes it an easy drive to the park to enjoy a day trip for the kids.
At McKinney Falls they went Armadillo spotting and found 3 of these crazy critters plus one unidentified swimming snake. Pedernales Falls yielded no Armidillos but had a large supply of lizards which the kids love to spot.
I think next up is going to be Bastrop or Lockhart State Park. Maybe we'll see you there.
