Today on Facebook one of my high school friends posted that he was at Tanglewood Park in Bryan. This immediately brought back a flood of childhood memories. I grew up just a couple of blocks from this park. When I was very young, (and before we lived in Bryan), I was lucky enough to spend two weeks of each summer with my grandparents. Everyday I got to choose what we did and many of those days were spent at different Bryan parks, one being Tanglewood. At the time this park had a wading pool, metal slides with chain ladders, metal merry go rounds and tons of others great 70s toys that are now banned for safety reasons. One of the slides was so tall and was red and white striped. I remember being so scared to climb that shaky chain ladder and slide down that hot metal slide. I could always depend on my Nanna to climb right behind me the first couple of times and slide down with me.
I hope that my kids will have great memories of the times we spend at the park. I hope that the days at the park will be remembered just as fondly as the elaborate outings that we work so hard to plan.
Thanks Murray, for bringing back some great memories!
