Friday at SXSW

Our second day of music was another long one. I started out the day with a 20 mile bike ride with my friend Chuck. Riding in Austin is nice as they have miles and miles of trails and bike lanes, and in general the citizens tend to be more accomodating to cyclists.

After that we headed to Yard Dog to catch some of the bloodshot records day show. We stuck around for a little while and then headed over to our spot from yesterday across the street at Home Slice. Day 2 of music and limited naps took a toll on the kids. Otto took a snooze in the bjorn (the first time in a really long time that he's slept anywhere but the car or his bed). And Greta took the opportunity to relax in the stroller for a snack. Some nice bands at Home Slice today including, Jukebox the Ghost, Wye Oak and the Lonely Forest.

After the music was over, we headed back across the street to another of our favorite spots... Guero's Taco Bar. The picture below is after a very traumatic experience for Greta. She rarely sits in a high chair anymore when we're out. This time she was kneeling on a chair with a whole in the back, and her legs slipped out the back and left her body stuck in the hole in the chair....her head on the seat, and her feet on the ground. It only took us about 45 seconds to get her unstuck, but it seemed like it was about 10 minutes... she rolled with it though and got right back up to chow some beans and rice. And Otto is saying, "did you see what happened to Greta? I told her to sit in a high chair".

And of course for being such a trooper for the second day in a row, we made another stop to Amy's Ice Cream... where Greta has determined that she should get Chocolate ice cream with M&Ms every time. Perhaps next year, Otto will get to take part in the ice cream fun.
