When the weather man says "Today is the warmest day yet of 2010!"...of course we will take it all in. We met our cousins at Emma Long Metropolitan Park for some Lake Austin beach fun! Great sand for building, crystal clear water for wading, and acres of land pretty much vacant. The kids were not afraid to try out the water either, still a tad too cool for my liking.
Warm showers nearby for easy clean-up. Don't forget the soap and don't let your kids bury the sand toys bag...we never found it (thanks Big, great idea!)
