Justin and I had a busy but super fun weekend.
Friday night we went to Aggie Night at the Dell Diamond with my parents and
Michael and Christine. The Capitol City A&M Club rents out the air
conditioned event suite and this year the pool and it's all you can eat and
drink while you watch the Round Rock Express! We went last year and had a
BLAST...I must say the guys had more fun than us (too bad the all you can drink
is only beer...boo). Even though it's August and it's HOT there was a nice
breeze all evening and it was never unbearable. We cut out before the fireworks
because Justin wasn't feeling well and needed to rest for our busy Saturday!

| Baseball...I actually chatted with Christine the whole time rather than watching the game :) |

| Us @ the end of the night! |
Saturday morning Justin and I went to the Austin
Ice Cream Festival. I won VIP tickets on facebook this week so decided we had
to go even though we couldn't stay long. I never win anything so I was super
excited!! The festival was at Fiesta Gardens this year (on Lady Bird Lake East
of 35) since Waterloo Park is closed for 5 years. The festival was a little
different than when we went last year...you paid an entry fee (ours was free!)
and then you could get all of the samples you wanted inside! I would say this
is definitely better than last year!

Katie
Amy's Ice Cream – Watermelon Good Pops - Watermelon Agave Popsicle Cool Haus - Ice Cream Sandwich - Red Velvet Cookie & Salted Caramel Ice Cream Blue Bell - Sour Green Apple Popsicle The Melting Cone - Chocolate
Hands down both of our favorite Ice Cream was
the Caribbean Rum Cake from Austin Scoops! It was delicious!! Last year my
favorite Ice Cream was also from Austin Scoops...Too bad it's 29.7 miles from
our house :( I guess we will just have to make a visit for a special
occasion...or an adventure!
We couldn't stay long at the Ice Cream Festival
because one of my college roommates, Niki, was getting married that afternoon
in Buda! It was a beautiful wedding and I am SO excited for her and Bryan, they
are perfect for each other!! The ceremony was in a beautiful Catholic church in
Buda and the reception was at Texas Old Town in Kyle. I had seen pictures of
this venue but it is SO much prettier in person. Beautiful grounds and a really
neat place to have a reception. Justin and I got there early and took a couple
pictures before the reception started.
Pretty trees!
 
Pretty stream outside reception hall
Beautiful Bride and Bridesmaid! Love my roomies!
Me & Niki
Sunday we were able to take it easy and run some
errands, workout, hang out at the pool with friends, and have a nice quiet
dinner. I only have 4 free weekends before Christmas so any relaxing time is
wonderful but there should be some fun posts coming up!!
