Time Stands Still

Kiddie Park is a long-standing park in downtown San Antonio. Everybody who has lived here since time began has been to Kiddie Park.

This is us in November 1981. My Mom has very specific memories of taking us here because she said a lady attacked her. Summer was two months old and the lady fussed at my Mom telling her she should not have such a little baby at the park.

While my Mom was upset over the crazy lady, I was having a ball riding the boats....

and the cars.....

and the spaceships.

And now 29 years later, my kids are still enjoying Kiddie Park. It is honestly very scary how everything looks EXACTLY the same. But it is the perfect park for kids aged 1-5!!!!

Jillian and her friend Maddie on the boats.

Rocco and Gavin on the boats.
Practicing for the Kentucky Derby!!! (Notice how Jillian is holding the reigns!! Lots of control issues for that one!!)

Riding the carousel.

All 4 on the Ferris Wheel. Rocco lasted one rotation and then had to be let out but the other three enjoyed the heights!

Can you see the meltdown??

I could not believe how fast the spaceships went! I could not believe the kids were not scared! Well, Rocco was but the older kids loved it!!

They had lots of fun riding the cars. Can you believe Gavin is sitting in the same one that I am riding 29 years ago



Finally, they rode the school bus. They rode it 10 times! It literally is on a track that goes around in a circle! But they loved it!
