today, we headed up the peak to check out mount austin playground. a friend had told me about this park and shown me pics of it, and once i saw that it has GRASS, i was sold. today was a beautiful day and a perfect one to visit this park. the grass was, indeed, splendid. it also was home to about a million of these tiny little shiny green beetles, which both intrigued and alarmed the kids.

after playing around at mount austin, we went to the peak galleria for lunch, gelato, and to play on the playground in the building. we also went to the top of the building to check out the skyline before we headed back down to central on the peak tram.

we also took some time to check out our apartment pool today...it opened for the season a couple days ago. the water is still quite cold, but neither of the kids care about that. i foresee a lot of time spent in that pool :-)
