Views of the Neighborhood. Lakeway Park 25th Anniversary

~ John W. Howell

Lakeway Park is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. As is fitting there was cake, kite flying, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The day was beautiful with temperatures in the high seventies. Come walk with me.

Gotta have ice cream.

Shave ice and water too.

A tent by the Colin’s Hope organization whose mission is to educate on the dangers of drowning. The organization was founded by the family of Colin Holst who tragically lost his life in a swimming pool at age four in 2007.

Lovely bird.

I hope you enjoyed the tour.

  7. The eagle kite is fabulous. I’d love to try flying that one. That’s quite a modern ice cream truck, too. I hope they were selling the real thing as well as soy-based, sugar-free stuff!

  15. John,

    A couple thoughts off the top . . .

    What a picture postcard day for an event like this! As if the weather person made a backroom deal with Mother Nature or something.

    I am always in awe of how some families take grief and use it for the greater good of countless others. As with the Colin’s Hope Organization. It’s a testament to the human spirit, indeed.

    That Eagle kite rocks! I remember flying kites as a boy. It was SO much more fun than video games.

    Does the Marvel Universe have room for “Ice Cream Man”?

  18. What a fun outing — thanks for taking me along, John! You had a gorgeous day for the celebration (about time, too, after all the rains there). The bird kites are really pretty, way nicer than the kites I remember from childhood!

  25. You’re still near the water! That’s lovely, and it looks like it was a beautiful day and everyone looked like they were having a great day out in the sun.

    Gotta have ice cream!

    Both my children were lifeguards all through High School, and their early years in college and taught me drowning doesn’t look like it does on T.V. It’s really silent. Colin’s Hope is doing good work educating people on water safety!
