Hoppin Hippo

Connor and I met Shia and his mom and brothers at a place called Hoppin Hippo this morning. It has some of those blow up jumpy houses and other fun things to play on. Connor was a little unsure at first, but once he saw Shia and his brothers take off to play, so did he. They liked the ball pit. They would swim through it. Connor also had fun in the bouncy houses. He didn't quite get it, but he still liked it. I think maybe he needs to be a little older to completely appreciate this place, but it still wore him out. Mission Accomplished!!! And Mommy didn't have to climb in anything so it worked out well all around! Tomorrow we're going back to Jungle Java with the big slides and other things to climb. Luckily we've found some things to do inside since we're about to break the record for the hottest summer ever in Austin. Evan will definitely owe me some big jewelry when he grows up for being pregnant this summer...and with such a big baby!

Also a shout-out to my sister...Lydia got offered her "first" job after finishing her Master's program! Third interview was the charm! She says it's her dream job and it's with the Federal/State Gov't. I think it has to do with checking out reports of inequality in the workplace, but that's really all I know. Anyway, Congrats!
