Buried Treasure

Spring break happens early here in Texas because the weather turns to Spring earlier than our northern states. It just so happens that St Patrick's Day falls during spring break so we decided to celebrate early. Dawning our greenest shirts, we shared a fun lunch with Mia at school. We came with rainbow cupcakes thanks to a play group party minutes before lunch. Fernando, who was on nights, was able to join the festivities. One must forgive him for his shirt color. . .he was slightly comatose.




The fun continued at home as the kids played bury your sibling in our rock pile pit on our playground.

A New Park To Love

We love living so close to Sea World, but unfortunately, it isn't open year around. So, when that outdoor venue is unavailable, we get into a boring rut of lack luster parks that are kind of out of the way.

That is until recently. While driving in my dog pattern to the grocery store one day I glanced over into a near by neighborhood and saw a beautifully new park. Each time I drove past after that, I hungered to explore its potential. Concerned that the park was meant only for the neighborhood, I just drooled from a distance. Finally, I could take it no longer and was rewarded greatly for my curiosity.
ZIPLINES!



MERRY-GO-ROUNDS!


MERRY ME GO ROUND


BALANCE BEAMS


AND SO MUCH MORE! Ok, not that much more but enough to use our bodies and play pretty much all by ourselves most days! Thank heavens for new discoveries!
