2-year-pics and Austin: Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day we loaded up and headed down to Austin/Lake Travis for the weekend. While we were there, I figured I would take Jameston's 2-year pics in the great outdoors that Sunday morning before church. Here they are!

You looking at me, Mom?

So serious (it was early)

My first attempt to get him to smile!

Second attempt!

And we got one

Rock pond? You know who would not miss out on this opportunity!

Action shot!

So dapper

Love this one!

Aunt Kayla and Brett's grandmother and aunt were also there that weekend. Jameston had a BLAST with his aunt, as she taught him how to "fly" an airplane

Unfortunately, as we were packing up to leave on Sunday, Brett's parents noticed smoke in the distance.

There was a wildfire not two miles from there house! It was the same afternoon that the one occurred in Bastrop. His parents received a recorded message phone call from the sheriff that advised everyone to evacuate

So his parents packed up what they could and prepare for evacuation. Luckily they ended up being a safe distance from the fire, which was across a river. The fire ended up closing down Highway 71 and damaged over 60 homes. So scary!

Jameston, Brett and Papa (and Boomer) on the hilltop near Willie Nelson's old property checking out the smoke/distance.

I am so thankful we were safe!
