Late summer?


Santi had the bright idea to picnic at Deep Eddy pool after work on Friday. It was a pretty good idea actually.

 


Then we got gelato and juice at Whole Foods, because Austin.

 

Saturday was the grand opening of Oasis, TX Brewing. Worst name for a brewery, but Spencer and crew are making some good beer out at the lake. A nice sunset as always.


Fake horse rides too!


Ye-haw.

 

Lucia and Micah painted the sidewalk with water. This could have gone on for hours. Parenting tip.

 

Lucia's hair.


 Santi is not as easily entertained so we had Carlos watch him.


Sunday I got up sort of early and went to help out "building" Santi's new school's playground. Lot of work still to be done this week. Good luck with that. Post nap we did the usual and hit up the pool. Post pool we pet some weird animals at In.gredient's 2nd Anniversary Party.


Hops & Grain brewed them a beer to celebrate the occasion. Watermelon beers, so in this summer.

Kids Lately

They've been growing, pretty much.


Lucia has moved to a big(ger) girl bed. This is her second try. It seems to be sticking.


Santiago got a haircut. He starts school soon. Kindergarten. 

Happy Friday

A beer video I just made that you won't understand

The "humor" in this video will be lost unless you are fully immersed in the Texas beer scene. I'm sure our five readers are not. But enjoy anyway:

It's been awhile since I posted the most recent cover of Texas Monthly. Hell, it's been awhile since I posted anything. Instead of catching you up on everything, I'll just start up where we are and you all can figure it out. Ok?


Behind the scenes info on the shoot from Creative Director TJ Tucker.

Euro Beer #31: Annecy House Guest

In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, almost 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Annecy:



















 Drinking Kir at a friend's house. What's kir? Where's the beer? Not in this post.
  















Then she made us dinner. This was the salad.
















Some couscous. 
















Our morning view everyday while in Annecy. Not bad.
















Sightseeing.

Euro Beer #30: Train to Annecy

Yeah, one of these again. We have a lot to blog about. I mean, we had Lucia. But this will do for now.  
In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, almost 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. Left Paris: 

 














So this is it. A little wine and a big ole sandwich from Masion Collet. You can't go wrong. We were headed to Annecy to spend a week with a friend. It was a nice train trip.
















Classy.


















Then a lot of staring out windows. We should have bought more wine. We did have a pear later though. That was good.

















Lot of this.
