As it turned out, Wilson Weekend 2009 turned out to actually be 5 fun-filled days of Zimel/Wilson togetherness. We were all so excited that a more extended trip worked out, because just a weekend with best friends is not long enough!
To start the time off, Adam and John got up at the crack of dawn to play basketball. During the game, John broke his foot...only he didn't find out about it until
after he had walked on it all day and decided to go in and have it x-rayed. High pain tolerance? Yes! So poor John had to spend the remainder of the trip on crutches. Luckily, it seemed like all of our remaining activities worked out pretty well even though he had to hobble around.
We went to Barton Springs for a swim before hitting The Music Man performance at Zilker Park. It was a great show!
The future generation of Zimels and Wilsons: Isaac, Matea, Samantha, Elijah, Samuel and Drew
Sam and the little boys posing in front of the Austin skyline (and Elijah trying to hold his brother, who only weighs 4 pounds less than him!)
One of the most memorable things we did was kayaking on Town Lake. We spent a few hours rowing up and down the lake. We saw lots of turtles and fish, and even what we think was a baby water moccasin (he is no more, thanks to John's paddle)! Missi, Adam, Samuel and I took turns bridge jumping, and it was Samuel's first taste of this sort of adrenaline rush. I think he's hooked.
And the kids spent lots of time playing in yard, on the tire swing and on the zip line.
It was a great 5 days, and we can't WAIT for the next opportunity to hang together!

I'm a little suspicious now... Micah's shoulder comes out while playing basketball with Adam, John breaks his foot. Maybe Adam takes it back a notch on the court before he has no one else to play with.
