6th Street, Texas Capitol, Mayfield Park

Today we explored 6th Street, Austin's entertainment district. First we stopped at Voodoo Donuts, where they have vegan donuts!

We shared 5 donuts: a vegan Sprinkle for Liz, Portland cream for Owen, the Loop for Nori's boys, the Old Dirty for Em and Nor, and the Bubble Delight for Heidi. We also got a Voodoo Doll to go for Dad. :)

Lizzie's first-ever donut!

The voodoo doll, lol! 

Next we stopped at the Driskill Hotel to see the Christmas tree in their fancy lobby:

Then we stopped at Brush Square. (The museums weren't open yet, so the kids just played in the park, i.e., threw acorns at each other.)

O. Henry Museum

Susana Dickinson Museum

Then we stopped at the Mexic-Arte Museum to see their nativity exhibit. (That didn't go so well; 6 kids and an art museum are a bad combo.)

Our favorite piece of art... Made from Lindor candy wrappers. (Just think, you can eat chocolate while you create art!)

Then we listened to a Tuba Christmas concert at the Capitol:

And finally, we stopped at Mayfield Park--until Owen had a meltdown and it was time to go home:
