John had weekend off so we went adventuring. Stopped off at Moody Park. According to John many things have been improved. The pool was absolutely nasty. I don't see how they can possibly have it ready for kids to swim when school gets out in a week. The park has a very nice walking trail and play areas. One of the nicest areas is a row of huge trees. It was so shady and had a very nice breeze. The city really should put in more benches to allow folks to enjoy it. One thing I noticed most people in the park were men. As we were leaving some families began to arrive. John says it has been a place for homeless and drunks. Really large statue of a Vaquero is also in the park. It has been painted different colors. It looks a little creepy to me. Guess you get used to a bronze or marble sculpture and something different really stands out.
You can't really see the name on the sign. Someone needs to touch up the paint. This is a favorite park. It has miles of trails. It even connects up to Bear Creek.
Today we saw a snake. Not sure what type. It was not a rattlesnake.
Everything was wet because of the rain yesterday. There was a picnic for a car dealership. They had set up tents and a moon walk. We watched a man fly some large remote controlled airplanes.
There are some playground areas and picnic sites. Across the street is a water park, soccer fields, baseball, and a velodrome for bike racing. John and I actually rode on the track with our bikes. They had an open house one time when we were over there. One of the volunteers allowed us to ride on the track if we wanted. Some evening we need to go out and watch the bike races.
