Goofy boys

This past week, we rented out our house for the SXSW festival. There are so many people coming from all over the world for this festival that all hotels are booked so we took ceased the opportunity to rent our house and make a little extra money to finance our Colorado vacation this summer.
We were lucky to have two nice guys from Holland renting our place. The were in advertising and one of them did a speech about advertising for Ikea... Anyways while they stayed at our house, we traveled around South Texas to visit family in Corpus and in Harlingen. We ended the trip west of San Antonio at Ben's mum's house. We had a nice relaxing time there taking walks surrounded by wild flowers and goofing around with Oliver.

Water-babies

Oliver had his first swimming lesson yesterday. Him and I went to the YMCA for water-babies. We got to hang out with a small group of 5 other babies and their mums. Oliver was pretty happy at first especially with his cute shark bathing suit that got him a lot of attention. Then in the water he rode the wave of mixed feelings from fun splashing to drinking too much water through the nose to relaxing on his back like a mermaid.
