Here's the breakdown...
On Memorial Day, we decided to brave the nasty weather and go to the Children's Museum. I thought, "Gosh, no one will be there! This weather is terrible!" Well, everyone else must have thought the same thing. Busy place! While it is definitely no Thinkery, I enjoyed the layout of the exhibits. Once my one year old is a little older, I think he'd have a bit more fun. Regardless, I am glad we checked it out. One museum checked off my list!
On the way home, we decided to grab our early dinner (or was it lunch?) at Pam's Patio Kitchen on Wurzbach. The food was great, and I liked the colorful paintings/fun ambience. Only problem was lack of space - lots of crammed tables in there... hard to order, grab drinks and high chair etc without bumping into other seated patrons. I guess my advice would be to go on the off hours to avoid a rush and the crowd. But the soup and salad I had were very yummy. Definitely glad we tried this place!
Thursday night we had planned to go to the Witte for Cocktails and Culture night, but we got last minute tickets to the Playoff game - um, no question there! It was such a fun game to attend. Loud fans, a big lead over the Thunder, and of course, my favorite grilled cheese station. So happy we could catch a playoff game... now onto the FINALS! Go Spurs Go!
We went to Hardberger Park on Friday afternoon. It was pretty warm so we didn't stay long, but JC loved the various play pads. He ran from the swings to the horses to the obstacle course repeatedly. We'll definitely return, perhaps a different time of day to avoid some of the heat!

Saturday morning we hit up the farmers market again. But this time, we actually bought stuff. Not stuff for later though, just snacks.... we'll get the hang of it eventually ;) J tried a pork tamale and JC and I shared a sweet potato empanada. MMM! We also explored a few shops around the property, which we did not get to do last time. It was fun to get out and see what was happening. And though we did not participate, the Basilfest stuff smelled AMAZING. I am now crazing pesto after typing this. Oy.
That afternoon we went to J's mom's neighborhood pool. I haven't had JC in the water in a WHILE, so I was excited to see what he would do in the kiddie pool. He went wild. Loved it! So happy my little guy loves the water - should make for a fun summer.
