There is a park downtown called Discovery Green. The whole park is "green" or energy efficient in tons of ways and it's also "money" efficient for me because it's free! They offer different kid activities everyday and have a big playground, water feature the kids can run through, and tons of other stuff. Mommy's favorite part is the clean bathroom!!! Today we went for Opera Storytime! Two ladies from the Houston Opera read a story called, "The Opera Cat" and they sang for the kids! It was very interactive and when the story was done, they taught the kids about tempo and keys...Jackson loved the singing and clapping part! After the story we went and played! Busy and tiring day...just what I was going for!! The boys had a blast!
This is just a picture of the part of the park.
One of the water features...the other 2 features are the kind that shoot up from the ground.
This is the ginormous playground...the ground is all padded too!
Zachary waiting for the story!
Jackson waiting for the story...eating lunch on the run!
Literally...on the run...couldn't keep him still...but I didn't try! :)
Such a cutie...he was focused on the grass that he kept grabbing handfuls of!
Still running...
This was the beginning of the story...he was up on stage...not so much paying attention though. (He's in the blue shirt infront of giant backpack kid)
He listened to the story while playing cars on the wall!
All the kids got a free flute for participating. Imagine 2 daycares and tons of other kids all tooting their flutes!! WOW!!! It was fun though...Jackson loved this part!
Now it's off to play...can't keep this kid away from water...it was cold water too!
Didn't stop him though!
He was annoyed by his wet pants!
So...he headed to the part to dry them off!
This was some cool jumpy net thing...he LOVED this!
What's the deal with my kid and poles! Thank God he's not a girl!! :)
Peek-a-boo! Mommy's sweet boy enjoying the ride!
Could only keep him away from the water for so long...shirt had to come off!
What a tough man!
I love this picture. He was constantly looking up...so I got down to his level and looked up...
This is what he was seeing!
Such a neat park! I really like it there...I think we will be spending quite a bit of time down there this summer!
This is just a quick video of the water monkey! He's too much!
