This Weekend

This weekend I.....

 Made my first ever Tone It Up protein pancakes. 

They were fantastic.

 Took the dog to Zilker Park for some throw ball.

Walked to Birds and got the Man a much needed hair cut.

Walked around Congress and visited a few thrift shops.

Also, we just happened to come across this sign on the way home.

On Star Wars day nonetheless.

We visited the Pecan Street Festival and drank wine and beer while checking out the booths.

Oh, and there was a petting zoo.

Obviously it was the best part. 

My favorites were this kangaroo baby. (Joey)

 And of course the Alpaca. 

Always the Alpaca.

 I still liked it despite the no chasing rule.

Had dinner at Rio's Brazilian.

It's always always delicious.

Then of course we went to one of the wonderfully hipster bars on the East Side.

After my run on Cinco De Mayo I enjoyed some coconut water in my wine glass. 

To make it fancier.

Obviously. 

Not pictured are the fish tacos and guac that we devoured. 

Like animals. 

Because it was Cinco De Mayo.

Austin Specialty Beerfest

This last Saturday Remus and I attended The Austin Specialty Beerfest at Fiesta Gardens. 

As you can see the weather was fantastic and there was even a cider supplier there so I didn't have to sit out on all the fun!

There were over 40 breweries at the festival and each one brought two of their most delicious brews so there was definitely no shortness of variety.

And of course you can't hang out in the sun and drink all day without a little food (i.e. tacos). Those lovely tacos you see were courtesy of Peached Tortilla. And yes, they were delicious. 

And the greatest part of the whole thing?

I mean, besides the gorgeous riverside park, sun, and booze?

The whole thing was a benefit for The Boys and Girls Club!!

Whoever said drinking was bad for the children is a big fat liar.
