Austin - The Capital & Bats

The State Capital
Our 3rd trip

 Checking out the heavy equipment

Entre-vous!
 Sadly, visitors must pass thru tight security and metal detectors.

We did all the stairs this time. 
We all ended up with buns of steel!

Daniel finds a squirrel.

Boys terrorize said squirrel

We're not done with the poor squirrel!

On to the Bats.  These come out by the millions at dawn every night on Commerce Street Bridge.
By the look of the droppings, you would think these are giant bats!!

Checking out the bridge prior to bat flight time.

...And we find a 2nd critter. Say hello to Mr. Turtle

Nick takes Mr. Turtle for a walk.

Mom is laying down resting with my carmera in hand :)
I'm exhausted!

There go the bats!!  Feeding time!

There goes Daniel trying to hit bats with rocks!
No, you can't keep squirrels, bats or turtles...sorry!
