Barton Creek Greenbelt Hike
This past weekend, we took the boys, along with Ben and Emmy Cohorn, to the Greenbelt. It's a favorite for area hikers, with good reason. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and you don't have to be an Everest veteran to do it. REI has rockclimbing clinics out here.
The weather was perfect: overcast with temperatures in the 50s. The kids had a blast, though it was a challenge to keep them from getting too far ahead of us. Every new scene around the bend sent them running and screaming ahead, ready to tackle the next cliff.
Andrew spotted a small bat hanging from a rock near a waterfall. We saw shell fossils and scenery that made us forget we were just about a mile or so from downtown Austin.
If you come to visit us, the Greenbelt is a must-see.
The lone bat. Sorry about the blurred image.
The kids maneuver their way across a narrow stretch of a cliff, with about a 15 or 20 foot drop.
Never shy to strike a pose.

love the photos. Looks like a blast. When we come up there to see you guys (hopefully sooner than later) you'll have to take us through there.
