Day 111: Concert (and picnic) in The Park!

Days like today remind me why I love The Woodlands. I'm always trying to convince Matthew to stay on this side of town and one of the biggest reasons I'm redoing my home is to keep him from moving us too far. I figured I'd keep us here another 3 or 4 years and take him to more events that happen in our area so he's forced to fall in love like I did.

Yesterday there was Run for Hope and today was "Concert in The Park" which is something they start in Spring every year and it goes through Summer. When I first approached him about it, he definitely did not seem interested. I was able to coax him into the idea and he's so happy we went. He must have said several times "good idea, mama. Let's do that more often." It was such a fun evening and the kids had a blast. They played in the sand, danced at the pavilion, chased their friends, built robots, and even got lost! Eeek. That was the one scary part of our adventure. Matthew assumed I was watching Bryce, I assumed he was watching Bryce and boom! - gone! Thankfully, everyone stopped and looked for him with us and he was found right by the water, hanging out with other kids. Sigh. That kid! It was a lesson for us for sure. Aside from that adventure, the evening was just perfect and we couldn't ask for greater weather!
