Today the kiddos & I took a field trip to the zoo :) I wanted to share what we did to make our trip super fun! I created these awesome Zoo passports that I found here. I attached the strings so the kiddos could wear them around their necks while walking around the zoo. I also printed these lovely stickers on sticky label paper that I cut out. They loved being able to find each animal to get their passport stamp (or sticker). Thank you Disney Family for creating these freebies! We definitely enjoyed them today! Thanks for stopping by! <3 Mrs. Smith

Stepping inside River Ranch Inn, you’re greeted by a sense of artistry and imagination. In late 2021, Amber Daniel and her husband Grady transformed River Ranch Inn after acquiring it from Jenna Radtke, the visionary behind Austin’s iconic, local costume shop, Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds. Some of the one-of-a-kind rooms include Allegra, which means “happy” in Italian, with its bohemian vibes, or Calista, which means “head in the clouds,” with a theme fit for a free-spirit. When it comes to outdoor fun, you can kayak, paddleboard, and fish in the nearby South San Gabriel River. And the best part? The River Ranch Inn welcomes furry companions for a small fee of $25 per night. Delight Your Taste Buds at Casa Costa Bake Shop In the heart of Old Town Leander is Casa Costa Bake Shop.
