Today was history in the making. At least for my son's team.The had a wonderful game with the score being 7 - 3. All the parents in the team had their fingers crossed,that we would at least win one game. I know even at one point in the game. We were all counting down to the seconds we had left until the game would be done. I felt bad thinking that way but it was so worth the thought, just to see all my son's teammates cheer with so much glory.It was wonderful. As a treat, everyone got icecream.!!! Go Tigers
The Alkek Building, near the intersection of McKinney and Crawford on the north side of the park, is the location for information, maps and event schedules. Once the park opens in April 2008, park staff can answer questions during regular business hours.

I wanted to show some pics of the kiddos from The Bayou City Art Festival in Memorial Park over the weekend.It was so much fun. The kids really enjoyed themselves with the great food, free great live entertainment and great artist to see. And there was so much to do and see for the kids themselves.They had me painting, singing, dancing. It was a blast. It was all under $25 dollars .($10 dollars admission, kids free, and the rest went to food) The Bayou City Art festival is a must do if you are in Houston during this time in the year.
