New House, Published Article and a Bitten Finger!

Well all has settled down now after the drama of our first few weeks in the new house, we are loving this fun new road and the lake view is so amazing it feels similar to being by the beach back at home in the UK....

Fourth of July - Independence Day has come round again and this time we were invited to a party hosted by some new neighbours, it was also their twins birthday so the place was filled with children and a huge inflatable water slide which kept everyone happy for hours. We always enjoy meeting new people so to be included in this fun group was priceless, they very much reminded us of our friends back home in the UK.

My summer holiday largely consists of keeping my two girls entertained and this week they decided to visit the Austin Aquarium http://www.austinaquarium.com.

All was going so well until my youngest got her finger bitten by an aging, half blind huge tortoise...when she was all cleaned up the free candy floss and ice cream which the staff gave her as an apology soon stopped the tears.

The offending tortoise!
