Today we stayed closer to home. We went for a hike and picnic at Balcones District Park (just 1 mile from Dad's work) and then dug for fossils at Champion Park in Cedar Park. On our way home we took a quick pit stop at Chisholm Trail Crossing in Round Rock because Mom wanted a picture of "the" round rock.

| It is blue bonnet season! Blue bonnets are the state flower, and this time of year they are everywhere. You're not a Texan unless you go take a picture out with the blue bonnets each spring. |
 |
| I took over half a dozen pictures and, believe it or not, this was the best one. (Lol.) |
 |
| This park has a dinosaur pit where you can dig for fossils! |
 |
| Lizzie kept trying to bury William in a hole that she dug, but he wouldn't stay put. (Smart kid.) |
 |
| Brushy Creek. There were lots of fish and tadpoles swimming around. |
 |
| Heidi was a little bit nervous posing next to this statue of the longhorn. |
 |
| If you look hard, you can see the round rock in the background. Back in the day, this used to be a very popular place for cattle herders to cross the creek because of its low water, so a settlement sprung up here, which they named Round Rock. |
