Halle had been gone this weekend to Freedom Weekend at our church. We just had the littles with us, and were bored! The weather has been yucky for weeks, so we were thrilled that today was sunny and cool. We loaded the littles up and headed to a couple of parks in Tomball. One is called Matheson park (the tire park) and the other one, Juergens, is right across the street.
TIRE PARK: this park is fort-like and constructed out of wood and tires. It's large and unique. There's a lot of tire swings (the
fun tire swings that swing high and spin really well!), ziplines, rock wall, and other stuff. We'd been there once before when Halle was little, but this was the littles' first time.

Juergens Park, across the street, is just as much fun for the kids because it has old-school playground equipment.
 |
| you rarely see merry-go-rounds any more! This was a pleasant surprise. I got on to keep Jack in place, and I got dizzy! |
 |
| and there were large, wooden see-saws, too! something hardly ever seen at parks anymore |
We found out that there was a montly Tomball community event just a mile away! They have concessions, games, and an evening outdoor movie each month. The theme changes each month, and this month was rodeo-themed. The best part was that there were just a few people, not crowded like most Houston events. Plus it was free!

We ended the evening with dinner at Salata, our favorite salad place. Quite a site to watch Jack eat a slice of bread with a fork....
