I’m back home from my couple of days in Austin, Texas. I’m still savoring the thought of that meal at the Moonshine Grill. One of the best I’ve ever had. Back into the swing of things again. Back with Andrew. I’m trying to get out of the house with him as often as I can now. Looking around for parks to play in and places for us to explore.

I decided to take him over to the World War I Memorial park and find the little playground. We went there after picking up some lunch for a picnic. Andrew would take a bite of his sandwich run over to the playground, climb up into the treehouse, slide down the twisting, turning slide and then come back for another bite. We stayed there until he was done. He sure can make a sandwich last but he ate the whole thing.

A mom and a little girl showed up and Andrew went right up to her and asked her name and then gave her a big hug. He’s very friendly to other little kids. She was five. He was smitten and followed her all over the place. She climbed up the slides and that was something Andrew wasn’t quite able to do.

After playing there we went up the hill and played at the larger playground. I liked being down at the smaller playground because at the larger one there were way more kids and I was not impressed. There are so many awful little kids out there. There was a group of little boys playing in one of the toys. Andrew walked over to climb up and one fat little punk told him that he couldn’t come up. You know, the kind of kid who is bigger than everyone else so he thinks he’s in charge? What was I gonna do. I stood there and stared a hole through that kid and simply stated that the equipment was for everyone and told Andrew to climb on up. He went up. We had a talk about bullies on the way home.
