Dallas Zoo (family trip)

A special day for a special girl

Dallas Series: This was my view of the city when I came home from work on I-45 North. This city has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. Abandoned plazas and fields that were around when I moved here are now nice apartments and busling business centers. (at Dallas, Texas)

Looks like a skycanvas. This one is dedicated to my loyal followers. I was checking out some of your stuff and it's so inspiring. You have great families and adventures. You encourage others with quotes and inspire with photos. Some of you have really cool businesses that you're taking to the next level. Thank you and keep it up. (at Dallas, Texas)

Dallas Series: Technically Frisco, this is a great park and playground. We first visited here for a family friend's birthday and loved it. Our second visit was for an event by the Ausome Moms group. This playground has one entrance/exit and it does relieve some of the stress of watching the kids. (at Hope Park Frisco)

"Shiny happy people holding hands." This statue always makes me smile. (at Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center)

Dallas Series: As a student at Dallas Theological Seminary I got a discounted rate for the Tom Landry Fitness Center and it has everything I could ever want or need for a gym. I used to run in the indoor track because I did not know that it had an outside one. When I found it and starting using it I was exuberant. It is totally enclosed so I feel safer running in the dark. Also there is a secondary inner sod track that can be used for softer impact. The outside area has a lot of well kept greenery so it feels peaceful, especially when they have the creek and waterfall running. (at Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center)

I love to see trees in bloom. (at Friends of Exall Park)

Exall Park Fun!!!

Dallas Series: Exall Park was a great place to go to decompress. One of the first times I came here was when I was having a rough time because of the compound stress of work and school. My friend and neighbor took me with him to play pickup soccer and the stress went away. One of my fondest memories was playing soccer at Exall Park in dry weather while a thunderstorm visibly loomed over downtown Dallas. We would often take our kids here to play while we relaxed.

The apartment escape place.

Dallas Series: Our local library from when we lived on Swiss Ave. We often went there to get out of the apartment, the kids loved it. The staff was very friendly and always remembered our names. Though it was small I could go online and get a book from any of the Dallas libraries have it sent there for pickup, which was very convenient. (at Lakewood Library Friends Dallas)

Leaving Dallas

Dallas Series: We are moving from Dallas, our home since 2011. A lot has happened here and I want to capture some of it before we leave so i'll be posting locations with with memory captions of what happened. I'm just getting into this photography thing so bear with me, if there is a level amature i'm like the one below that, like superhero amature taking pictures with a phone. Yes I know skies arn't purple, but I thought i'd have a little fun with this one...while i'm at superhero amature level. So, this is where my kids go to AWANA which is a christian organization that helps kids learn bible verses. We go to this one because it has classes on Sunday, most locations have them on Wednesday, and it is easier for us to attend due to scheduling. I have seen so much growth in their Bible studies through this program and am so glad they could do it. I remember when we first started coming my wife and I would wait in the parking lot and watch the latest season of Dr. Who. Of course that didn't last long so we found another tradition, Braums, but more on that later. (at Lake Ridge Bible Church)
