Faulkner Park in Tyler Texas Has a Splash Water Park For Kids

July 2nd, 2010

Faulkner Park

Texas summers get really hot, and not everyone can afford to go to a water park everyday. But at Faulkner Park they have a great way to cool down with out the emptying your pocket. They have a small water playground with built in water guns and different water sprinklers. It is a great place to have a family picnic.

Children have a blast in the sun finding new friends and playing in both the water playground and the normal playground. They can get really dirty and then wash off while paying! The worse part about this play area is the freaky slide that slide down a hill. Kids will love it and parents hate it because they don’t know where their children go as they slide down the side of a small cliff. Children have a blast climbing up and down the rope dome.

You can have a relaxing time fishing out on their beautiful small lake. And walking the beautiful trails around the park. Faulkner has a few little league baseball fields and two practice fields. They have little league games and tournaments out on these fields. You can also play tennis on the nice tennis courts which also hold tournaments and matches.

Faulkner has different workout programs for people looking for a good workout and to meet new friends. They have classes with great constructors that will build you up and encourage you to do your best and push yourself.

Faulkner is my personal favorite park in Tyler. My children have a blast playing in the water. Other parks in Tyler have tried to do a water playground but have succeeded in putting in a fountain that is backed up with dirty water. The Faulkner water play area always seems very clean and the water is constantly drained. Your kids will have fun and you don’t have to worry about the water that they are playing in, if it is germ filled or not.

S.S.T. School of Summer Training

January 12th, 2010

S.S.T. stands for School of Summer Training and is a program that is available through YWAM Texas located in Lindale, Texas near Tyler TX. This is a program where teens can go and have a lot of fun while learning about God. It is a summer program and it’s a couple of weeks long. You have one week sessions of classes and lots of fun and the other week you go on an outreach to Mexico usually.

It is an excellent way to spend your summer and make sure your children are in a good environment and are learning good moral things. S.S.T. concentrates on teaching the children how to have a relationship with God and make decisions based on God’s word and not just their emotions. It is also an opportunity for them to find new friends that have similar goals in life and love God and are trying to figure out what His will is for their life.

I don’t think there is anything more exciting in life than to know that your children love God and are walking in His ways and that they don’t live to please man…but to please God. At the same time it’s not just all about work and no fun. While they are there, they end up having lots of fun activities for the children.

For parents who are looking for a good place for your children to go for the summer I would encourage you to look into Summer School of Training and see if it would be something that your teen might enjoy. While they are out having fun that will give you the parent an opportunity to spend time doing some of the things that you could not do if your children were at home. Your children will be in good hands and there is nothing to worry about because the staff is great and loves working with your children.

Their hearts are for your children in making sure they know God and make Him known to others. Christian counselors are their to teach and help them learn how to make better decisions in life. This program will better equip your children to be able to go out and face the world full on because they will know the truth about some of the things that are out there and are a danger for your children. I can truly say that it would be a blessing to have your children go to one of the Summer Training Programs that YWAM has going through out the summer each year.

Tyler Green Acres Bowling

January 8th, 2010

Tyler Green Acres Bowling located in the Tyler Texas area is lots of fun and fairly cheap. If you are looking for something fun and clean to do with your friends, I would strongly encourage you to try bowling.

I went there with some of my friends. The shoes only cost a couple of dollars and the game was $2.00 per game. Besides being cheap, it is very entertaining and lots of fun. Also it is a clean, environment, smoke free.

In addition to bowling there are also lots of other games you can play if you don’t like bowling.

There is a small area for food at reasonable prices and the taste is not bad. Also for a bonus there is free coffee. You can’t beat that. For those who would like to have a drink while they play a game there is a small bar area where you can order some drinks. Of course, I think it might impair your game so it’s probably better not to. But like I said that is available for those who like to mix the two together.

Next time you are thinking of something fun to do, but do not have lots of money to spend, gather some of your friends together and go to Tyler Green Acres Bowing. You won’t be disappointed, just thrilled.

In addition to the fun of bowling it will be pretty comical, watching your friends bowl. If you are the type of person that likes to make new friends, there are a lot of other people there that are bowling. You never know who you might meet. You just might make a new friend, while you are at it. And if you don’t have money for that, it never costs anything to go watch your friends and hang out. It beats being alone on a Friday or Saturday night.
