The Lakeway Parks and Recreation people have set up a great summer program called Rhythm and Reels. For the next three Fridays, starting at 7 PM, there will be food, treats, and games for the community’s enjoyment. Corn Hole, Giant Jenga, Spike Ball, Can Jam, Ladder Ball, and much more. Residents are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets and pick a spot to lounge. Then enjoy the games. There will be burgers, fries, and ice cream too. In addition, a full feature film will be shown starting at 8:30. What is nice we are all invited too. Even though the event was held on Friday, the staff agreed it would be okay for all of us to visit using the time warp feature of the bus.
The event features food from P. Terry’s of Austin. We have burgers and fries on the menu.
Dessert from IceCream2U
Our entertainment will be The Lost Pines. Austin’s premier bluegrass and classic country band who joins us as a trio.
The movie is The Sandlot. In the summer of 1962, a new kid in town is taken under the wing of a young baseball prodigy and his rowdy team.
So let’s get on the bus and take a time warp back to last Friday.
The event announced downtown Lakeway.
There’s the food truck. Place your order
The bandstand and screen for the movie.
My kind of pop-up Persian rugs and all.
Safe lawn darts.
A field of corn hole games.
Kan Jam disk for a Kan Jam game.
Giant Jenga for the steady hands.
Spoon and egg game.
Ice cream would go well with the 92-degree heat.
A big ole bounce house and the drink station.
It looks like the trio is tuning up to play, so we better grab our lawn chairs and settle back for a night of entertainment. Enjoy the food, music, and movie. I hope you all have a terrific week.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: your Parks and Recreation people are amazing! Just fantastic! We have plenty of parks in this area, but I’ve never seen any of them set up so many cool and fun things and special events as Lakeway Parks & Recreation does! Thanks so much for sharing.

What good clean fun that was!!! A bit hot, though, John … do you think that next weekend you could request temps in the 70s instead of the 90s … asthma, y’know! Loved the atmosphere … just people out to have a bit of fun … we need more of this!

I will put in the request, Jill. of course Mother Nature does not pay attention to my requests. I also have asthma so I understand the need for cool. 😊

Hah! Mother Nature has been completely disregarding my requests, too! It’s interesting, but many years ago I was sent to Las Vegas for a business convention. The temperatures were near 100°, but I did not have trouble breathing, for there was no humidity. Here, the humidity ranges between 45% and 90% on the average summer day and makes breathing a real chore, even inside with the a/c running.
