Round Rock's Park for All Abilities

A friend told me about Round Rock's new park for all abilities and how much her kids loved it. It just opened this past weekend, so when we decided to go to the park today, we thought we would try it out. It is awesome! It is a huge playground fenced in with even a small version of a town with an HEB, car dealership, fire station, hospital, and school. Plus it has an awesome playscape and sandpit area. The kids fell in love immediately. We will be going back soon for sure. I put Marjorie's feet in the sand for the first time there and she just giggled loving it.

New Old Friends

When I was pregnant with Lillian, I joined the site Whattoexpect.com. I met so many great ladies there going through what I was going through at the same time. I still talk with many of them today on Facebook. I also joined the February 2008 message boards on there when I was pregnant with Andrew. I wasn't as active that round since I still talked mostly with the first group of ladies, but I did meet a few new people and yesterday I finally got to meet one of them in person.

My friend Melissa and I have been keeping in touch on facebook for a while. She lives in Germany since her husband is based there for the military, but her family lives in Cedar Park which is about half an hour from here. So since she is in visiting them right now while her husband is deployed, we finally made plans to meet up. We drove over to her parent's neighborhood park and the kids had fun playing and we got to chat. Lillian and Andrew were very excited about their new friend Maya and they ran around and played a lot! When we left, Lillian was already saying she wanted Maya to come to her house and play dress up with her. We'll definitely have to try and play a few more times before they head back to Germany at the end of June.

70 Degees and Sunny

You have to take advantage of the beautiful weather while it lasts! We have had a really cold and rainy winter so far here, which isn't usual for Texas. We've been stuck inside way too much and the kids love getting out to the park. Today it was 70 degrees and gorgeous out, so we took advantage!

The kids love this playground at Old Settler's Park because it is a short walk to a little bridge on the running trail. They love to go throw rocks over into the water. Our laugh for the afternoon was when a male runner went by us without a shirt and Lillian looks and points and says really loudly, "He's NAKED!" ha ha! He smiled at us as he went by....oh the things kids say!

A Sunday morning surprise

Tory and I took the kids out to the park on Sunday. They wanted to play outside, and we were going to pick up lunch anyway, so we just decided to go over to Old Settler's. We were surprised when we got there to find a big car show going on. It was the British Car club and there were all sorts of old and new collectible cars. We decided to check them out before we went to the playground. We went on to play, but what a fun thing to check out unexpectedly at the park!
