    Took little Rooster over to try out the Grove. Not as nostalgic as most reviewers as I never saw a…read moreshow at the original meadows. We were over here in the area yesterday shopping and surveying the place so we went back today. Little Rooster would be giving it 5 stars. He ran and ran and ran and ran (and ran) thru the water sprinklers. Got enough footage for Youtube and 30 photos. Then we scooted on over to the playscape that is just steps away. Slide city! More running, laughing, smiling, and sliding. After about an hour with the clouds getting chased away by the sun we headed towards the car for the clothing change and to find some lunch. Thats where I have to subtract a star. There is nothing exciting foodwise over here @ the meadow. The places I won't visit Chili's - The enemy or at least thats what Tony told me Johnny Carino's - How do you say not good in Italian? TGI Fridays - You seriously thought I would? Serrano's - Not a fan Chi Chinese Buffet - Vowed to never return Cartwrights Famous BBQ - food sucks at all un original locations Waterloo Icehouse - Boring I haven't been to Jason's Deli in years; maybe Haiku has something besides sushi? Nope. Third base, maybe but then I'm pretty sure the menu is close to a carbon copy of Waterloo. Gattitown, I just did kid stuff for an hour and a half! I want serious food over here folks. Then, its 5 stars all the way.

Obviously, the former concert venue no longer exists...well, certainly not to the extent it once did. Nope. Now it's a playground surrounded by mostly chain restaurants. And while this does kind of sadden me in a bittersweet "what happened to the good 'ole days?" sort of way, I can take solace in the fact that I'll be frequenting this spot much more than I would have otherwise. Because, as I mentioned in the first line, you can sit with a cold beer and watch the kids frolic. Or, sit with a cold beer and read a book while you ignore the kids. Or, spread out a blanket and lie on the grassy slope while drinking a cold beer. I do recommend glancing up every 5 minutes or so, though, to make sure the kids haven't been kidnapped. So, while I may have taken in two or three shows a year in the former incarnation, I'm likely to visit at least a couple times a month now. Sandwiches, wings, burgers, Mexican, Asian, coffee, ice cream, smoothies and sushi can all be had here. The selection is wide. I've tried three or four of the places, and will probably eventually review them all, since I do and will be frequenting this spot often. And as long as they have edible food and beer, they're all guaranteed a minimum of 3 stars. Cuz that's the way I roll. I gotta give props to the designers for keeping the music component alive, as there's a stage area just across from the playground. They had a summer concert series there last year, Southpark Before Dark, and I'm sure they'll do something similar this year. The playground itself is pretty large, and has plenty of fun diversions for the kids...but not quite the chaotic mess that is the playground at Barton Springs. Plenty of strategic spots from which you can keep an eye on the monkeys. They even pipe in decent (for the most part) music through speakers that surround the playground. And for the summertime, there are little water fountains around the stage area for kids to get wet and stay cool. Bottom line - if you live south of the river - or anywhere in the vicinity, really - and have kids, you should check this place out, because there's nothing comparable in BubbaLand.

I was stuck between the salad bar and the small basket of fries. Of course, I was hungry and should have eaten before I came, but I didn't. Luckily, the chick at the counter was nice. She explained everything. I ordered a personal size veggie pizza without cheese. When the food was ready, I was surprised that they didn't mess up my order. They exactly added pineapples and took off the black olives. The pizza was decent to taste, but definitely wasn't nasty, but not overly seasoned or spiced. It was good. I gobbled it right up. The personal option has about 5 slices, but small slices. I paired it with the sweetest drink that I hadn't had in long time: fruit punch. It was so sweet as if I was drinking liquid sugar. The restaurant was clean for what I saw. The staff was accommodating. I'm glad they got rid of the Chuck E Cheese that I grew up with he was very creepy looking. Seeing the new and slim Chuck E Cheese, I took a double take and appreciated this new rat better.

My little one enjoyed all the rides and wanted to do them again and again and again. The cheesy bread was quite greasy and pizza was decent. Food took a while to come out even though it was a weekday. Everything was fairly clean including the restrooms. There's a private parking lot just outside the entrance.

Megan is a wonderful administrator and knows every kid by name. My first son started around 14 months and went all the way through the pre-k class which really helped him be prepared for Kindergarten. My youngest son started at 5 months old and I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Diane and Ms. Karen. They are both the sweetest people and you can tell they love the children they take care of. Dropping your child off at daycare can be scary at any age but when they are so little it's even harder. You just have to hope you can trust the people taking care of them. Diane and Karen went above and beyond in that manner. So much so that my son would often reach for them at drop off and even when I came to pick him up he'd reach back for them. They are the best!

A couple months before the wedding I was sent a form to complete (that I had to reach out to get) about which specific songs I wanted played during each part of the ceremony. I sent it back and everything seemed like it was fine. The day of the wedding rolls around, and I can't really speak to the quality of the songs since I didn't hear anything except the song I was to walk down to. Which, let me preface this- I chose this specific song because my grandfather used to sing it to my grandmother who recently passed away. I get up there and hear that my song is already ending! They had switched my song with the wedding party's! I was pretty flustered and before I could ask them to just start again I had been shoved down the aisle by my wedding planner (whole other story). Anyway the wedding was still amazing and I get to spend my life with my best friend BUT wanted to warn anyone else if they choose to use Will make sure you are VERY thorough. Especially if you have music that has sentimental value. PS- another red flag: my wedding planner recommended them who I incidentally don't recommend as well...
