I love that we can take the kids to the same places that my parents took me and that these places still hold the same magic and wonder to them that they held for me as a child. Watching The Girl spin around under the Zilker Tree with her Papa, made me remember back to our yearly trek downtown with my own Papa to partake in the same simple pleasure. Remarkably, it really is almost exactly the same as when we were kids. There are a few food vendors that I don't remember there being, but other than that, it's just the same simple tree. It was such a treat to watch The Girl's eyes light up when she walked underneath the tree, and then watching her spin with her doll, with her Papa, with me, and by herself until she just couldn't spin any more....
Wonderful....
