thompson park

Amarillo is a world of plains and flatlands, and a canyon close by, but not rainforests, mountains and majestic waterfalls.

Amarillo has some really great parks.  They are the perfect places to go and hang out with your family. Unless you happened to be there at night.

Imagination and energy can now run free at Thompson Park

As we are making our way through October there are a lot of things going on. What a difference a year makes. I mean after a year of nothing we now, more than ever, need to make sure we keep a calendar of events. If we don't we might miss out on something we really wanted to go to.

Looking at the calendar we have just under a month left of summer. In the summer we have so many fun outdoor activities to take advantage of. It is easier to stay fit because we are moving around a lot more.

In true fashion to the statement this is why we can't have anything nice. The pool in Thompson Park that just had a ribbon cutting over the weekend has already had people try to ruin it for us.

The wait is about to be over. The pool at Thompson park is about to be open again. This has been one heck of a ride. It really has. Back in 2018 the news came out that due to safety concerns the pool at Thompson Park was closing.

Which park is your favorite to take the kids to?

Good things come to those that wait. Better late than never. Those are two things that come to mind when we think about Thompson Park Swimming Pool. It has been a heck of a wait.

My daughter was in town over the weekend. Since it was Father's Day we got to talking about our Mother's Day versus Father's Day plans every year. That moved us on to Wonderland since we always knew we would spend Mother's Day at Wonderland Park.

We have had a rough past year or so. In life things have been maybe not the easiest. As we are now getting back to a bit of a normal life. We are getting to go out and do fun stuff again and that makes us happy.

Fingers crossed that this summer we will see things opened back up for the warmer weather.
