In honor of the impending rains from Hurricane Alex, combined with the fact that so many friends are out of town (so we "all" could fit), Playgroup will be at my humble abode. 10:30 per usual. Hope to see you there! :)
p.s. -call if you need directions; my number is posted to the right.

June 24th Playgroup
We'll be at the meeting at the Sea Center at 10:30. Hope to see you there!
(umm... so I tried to link to a map, for good form and all, but no map sites get it quite right.
So just know it's on the corner of Medical and Plantation Dr. W. )

June 17th Playgroup
We are FINALLY going to the BEACH!!
Everyone's welcome; all ages.
We'll be out there earlier than the normal 10:30 so as to try to not fry our fair skin yet still get a few hours of good, solid play.
We are going to the first public beach access (Kim Cardon, as well as myself, will often go here, in case you've ever come with one of us) and this is how you get there:
From Lake Jackson, drive 288/332 south
Continue with 332 south when it splits off at an exit.
Drive on 332 for about 12 minutes until you get to Surfside.
There's a stoplight.
Sometimes it's just a blinking stoplight.
Sometimes it's not.
Watch out for cops and turn left at this stoplight onto the Blue Water Highway.
Drive this for about 5 minutes.
Things you will pass along the way: some funny little seaside resturants, a "dangerous curve", a really big house renting golf carts and water slides, a tiny grocery store, the crabbing pier, the re-built Stahlman Park building, and, after a while, a sign about "Texas Star" something-or-other.
Just about there you will also see a SMALL blue sign on the left side of the road indicating the entrance to the "1st Public Beach Access" on the right side of the road. Turn here.
You should see my little gold car parked there on the beach and us frolicking.
(I like to stay close to the entrance because it's technically one-way, but the exit is literally a 10 drive in the other direction.)
Hope we see you all there!

Summer Break for Walking Group
Walking group has been postponed for the summer. Activities with our children seem to be interfering with scheduling for this. We hope to have it up and running again in July or August at the very latest! Enjoy your summer!
June 10th Playgroup
(So I've tried to find the official name of this place and I can't, but anyways...)
I want to have Playgroup at the park that the ward had a pancake breakfast at about a year ago, but I don't know what the name of the park is and I wasn't paying very close attention to how we got there, I just know it's out near Clute/Richwood.
I'm thinking it's near/behind Polk Elementary. Can anyone call me and confirm this?

June 3rd Playgroup
Well, folks, summer vacation is here and all your big kids are home.
I'll do my best to think up things the whole family can do!
This week: not the beach.
Sorry! But the weather did not look very cooperative!
So instead, we'll go to the Lake Jackson Historical Museum (across from the library). Meeting at 10:30.
Some future brainstormed ideas (and please comment and add!):
The Beach.
The Houston Children's Museum.
The water play place outside the library.
The outdoor pool.
The fire station.
The Zoo.
A place to pick fruit.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science.
A petting farm.
