Discovering Discovery Green

Growing up in Seattle, a trip downtown was a regular occurrence. So when a friend mentioned a cool new park downtown I convinced my hubby to checkout Houston. Of course also being from Seattle it was never 101 degrees on our outings.
Like all adventures this one started out rough. Olivia poked herself in the eye and was basically blind and screaming in pain for hours. At one point all 3 kids were crying, i got to nurse the baby in a public restroom which is always awesome, and kolby thought he was gonna die bc it was soooo hot. Then i found some snow cones and all was well.
Unfortunately our family stood out like a sore thumb and a news crew interviewed me. I felt like an idiot bc i had to answer questions about how i feel about the local, state, and federal government passing an act where they all work together to stop pedophiles. Finally Naomi starting crying so we cut the interview short:)
The rest of the evening was splendid. Enjoying the art, fountains, rolling down the hills, and playing a little red-light-green-light.
We got home at 9pm and then made a ginormous breakfast feast for dinner- omelets, cinnamon rolls, and smoothies.
Thanks for a great family day Discovery Green Park!

Cute pics! Kolby looks hot in the pic with the snow cones. Poor guy. I'd still rather have the heat then the blistering cold.

Looks like quite an adventure... AND I always love nursing in public.

So how do you feel about pedophiles? HA, JK, hate stuff like that and then you're like... "uh, duh..." At least you had a pretty good time overall. I wish our kids could play, if you ever come to see Brit in GA we should hang out.

That park looks really cool! I've never been there, but my photographer friend is doing our pics there in a couple weeks.
