Go Longhorns!

This past holiday weekend was pretty eventful. On Saturday night, Eric and I attended a UT game. They're ranked #4 and they played Arkansas State (unranked). Although they won, many of the fans were pretty disappointed with how they played overall. Eric got tickets from a friend at work for $60 a piece. Eric had a good time but I roasted most of the the first half (before the sun dipped behind the stands) since it was 91 degrees at start time and I didn't manage to think of wearing a hat or sunglasses.


Go Longhorns! Eric shows his enthusiasm.





On Monday we took Bentley for a hike and swim at Zilker Park. The creek that he is swimming in is dammed up at a certain point to create a natural swimming hole, "Barton Springs Pool", for those who prefer the average year round 68* water temperature. The water is fed by the 4th largest sping in Texas and the swimming area gets up to 18 feet deep. It's open from 5am to 10pm and people often use it to train for triathlons and stuff. Here are pictures of the pool.



Bentley enjoyed it immensely. It was definitely a long overdue swim session for him.




He does this a lot and Eric provoked it by throwing rocks around him.
