If you are from Austin, you know that one of the cool things to do in the summer is watch the bats fly out from under the Congress bridge. Austin has the largest urban population of Mexican Free-Tail Bats in the WORLD!
The bats all fly out at dusk in search of food! Right now the babies aren't able to fly yet so there are "only" about 750,000 to 1.25 million...there will be MORE in August when the pups are flying too!
Saturday night we took the boys out to watch the bats...but not before some watermelon, of course!
Does it get any cuter than this? I think NOT!
Waiting and watching...

Silly boys! They were a little bored waiting.

And finally the bats! They were VERY hard to capture on film because they were flying so fast!!!
Awwww...I miss Austin! Can't believe the boys are so big! I'm so used to looking at my little pip squeak Paige, that when I see other children her age that are normal size, they always look huge to me! :P
