...Barton Springs that is! Barton Springs is an Austin staple and we've been going there for years. The last time Jackson was at the springs he was in utero so he had a pleasant time seeing it for the first time on the other side.
We thought he would scream when we got in the frigid water but the only one screaming was me! ICE COLD!!!
He absolutely LOVED lounging under the trees and swimming in his 'evil elefante'. Jack thinks the boy's floaty looks like the Heffalumps from the Winnie the Pooh movie so that's we we call him now...
We took various breaks in between swimming and on one occasion Jackson refused to leave Sophie behind even though we told him she's not really a swimmer. As soon as we got in the water he tossed her aside and she began to drown. We told him to save her because she was a pretty expensive chew toy and we are not about to buy him another one. So he freaked out and dove in after her...
He felt pretty bad about almost losing Sophie so the boy apologized and quickly put her back in her favorite spot...
We had a lovely time at the Springs and we'll definitely have to go back before it starts to cool down, (ok that was just funny to even write...'cool down' yea. right.).
No matter how many years you and Jack go to Barton Springs, yall will never be true Austinites! (wink) BUT, Jackson on the other hand.... he is the real deal!
