The Parks Are Waiting for YOU!

June 18, 2013

One of the most loved things about the summertime in Texas is a thing known only as AC! Then again, growing up in Houston, I distinctly remember mom shoving us outside to roam around the cul-de-sac and jump through what seemed to be a big sprinkler (and later was discovered to be average and not big enough for 3 growing kids). So as to not spoil the children of East Texas with too much AC, get the kids (ages 6-12) outside to some free fun at local parks this summer. I'm thinking pictures will be drawn of summer adventures they'll hold onto!
