The weather in Houston has been absolutely unbelievable for the past few weeks. The variations in temperature has surprised everyone; including our local newscasters!
I was in San Antonio last weekend for an imaging expo, and while we were there, the major freeze hit the area. Freeways were shut down-- as well as on ramps and off ramps, bridges.......ways to get out of the city were closed. The morning that we were leaving to return to Houston our car was ENCASED in ice....icicles skirted the underside of the bumpers and the side mirrors. It improved as we got to Houston, and amazingly, the ice stayed on the car the entire trip back to the house. Of course, Houston didn't get quite the freeze that our San Antonio neighbors got, so we garnered more than a few puzzled looks as our icicle laden car trekked back into town.
Anyway, all that ice and this cold, wet weather made me think of warmer times, so I decided to post some images from the summer. These were taken at a kiddie park in San Antonio that my family used to take us to when I was just a small child. It's great fun, and still very colorful.
Stay warm, and don't forget your umbrella!

Remember those little boats that went round and round in that big shallow pool? Aren't they great??
