Henry Almost is Eaten by Mountain Lion

Ok, well not really. David, Ben, Eli and Henry went to the zoo in Waco. We went to visit the Martin Rider's this past weekend. We had a great time - our last visit before el bambino #2 comes along (for Dave and Jen, not us!!). The zoo was a huge success. Henry loves the fish especially. Henry's been to like 3 or 4 zoos before, but this was the first time he really got into it. The best thing about having kids is seeing that sense of awe in their faces. It's such pure excitement.

We also met up with Grandmom and Granddad Burdett and Great-grandmom Hunter on the way back to town.

Mom and Dad get away

For the first time, Ben and I went on vacation without Henry. It was a lot harder than we expected and we missed him a lot. But, it was fun to stay up late, er, well actually, we couldn't even do that.. But, it was nice to indulge a bit. We went to an all-inclusive resort on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico just south of Cancun. Our pics are on our family website at pickleinfo.com. Henry stayed with both sets of grandparents as well as Lori, Jeremiah and Holly. We just missed Austin's ice storm by hours on either side of our flights. Henry got to see snow for the first time. Here are some pics from his stay over there. Plus a cartoon that Aunt Lori made revealing the true adventures while Mom and Dad were away (They had a little cabin fever I think).

Last weekend we took Henry on the Zilker train for the first time. He loved it! But, he looked a little dazed afterwards, kind of like "i've seen some stuff, man!" It was pretty funny. Pics below..

Hank: Bring on the New Year!

Henry went with his friends and family to the First Night parade and art party downtown for new years' eve. he really enjoyed the parade and then enjoyed some rolling around on the grass in front of city hall. In the afternoon we played in the park with some dogs. Here are some pics. I think he's ready to take on the new year. he's about ready to walk and totally determined to terrorize the cats.
