• Polar Paradise at Margaritaville Lake Conroe - worth the drive with kids?

  Thanks for the parking tip friend! Did y'all grab food while you were up there or just walk the grounds for the holiday stuff?

• Polar Paradise at Margaritaville Lake Conroe - worth the drive with kids?

  Hey friends! Has anyone checked out the Polar Paradise setup up at Margaritaville on Lake Conroe? Looking at taking my three kids up there this weekend from Creekside Park. Wanted to see if any of y'all have been yet and if the holiday decorations and lakefront activities are worth the drive!

• Beginner youth tennis lessons in 77386 or weekend Woodlands options

  Spot on, friend! Keeping sports fun for beginner kids starts with not spending an hour stuck in a car right before practice! Small group clinics on Saturday mornings are great for keeping the coach-to-player ratio low so beginners actually get ball touches and instruction. Check the weekend Township program schedules for early Saturday morning slots because those tend to fill up fast!

• Best parking spots for Run Thru The Woods on Thanksgiving morning

  Hey friend! You should be fine if you hit that intersection before 6:30 AM! I bring a group from our youth soccer teams out every year for the 5K run and 10K run, and timing is everything. Lake Robbins starts getting blocked off closer to 6:45 AM when volunteers set up the start line near the Pavilion. Get down there early, grab your spot, and enjoy the morning! It is such a great event for the community!

• Best spots for lawn chairs at the Caroling Caravan Christmas Light Parade?

  Side street parking is usually fine as long as you keep clear of driveways and hydrants, friend! Bring a couple extra blankets along with those lawn chairs because it gets chilly once the sun goes down. My team of kids loves the holiday caroling and festive lights every single year!

• Family Promise fish fry and Toys for Cops on Nov 14

  Love seeing this! I just sent a text to our youth soccer team parents to see if we can get a whole bin of unwrapped sports gear together before November 14. Great way to teach the kids about giving back to families right here in our county!

• Township paying Houston to block annexation: is it worth the cost?

  Thanks for breaking that down, friend! Quick follow-up for you or anyone else who knows: since my family is over in Creekside Park on the Harris County side, does this agreement with Houston cover our village the exact same way as the villages up in Montgomery County?

• Township paying Houston to block annexation: is it worth the cost?

  Hey friends! I saw the news report on FOX 26 that our Township leadership is reviewing financial plans to pay millions of dollars to Houston under the regional participation agreement to prevent future annexation. The whole idea is preserving our township status and blocking municipal absorption by Houston. As a coach and dad raising a family here, I definitely want to keep our community setup strong, but that is a lot of money! What are your thoughts on this agreement? Is paying millions worth keeping us independent?

• Best pumpkin patches near us for young kids?

  Hey friend! Fall season is officially here! For young kids, the absolute key strategy is beating the rush. Whatever spot you choose that offers a corn maze and hayride, show up right when they open on Saturday morning. The kids get to run off all that energy through the maze without bumping into fifty other strollers, and you get your family photos taken before everyone starts squinting into the sun!

• John Cooper varsity basketball team this season

  Hey there friend! I caught a few of those MaxPreps highlight videos myself after one of our youth practices wrapped up. The Dragons are playing with great pace and high energy this winter. The ball movement in those varsity game clips looks crisp, and you can tell the players have bought into the program. Always love seeing local student athletes executing solid fundamentals on the court!

• Coco Classic tennis tournament questions

  Hey there friend! I had two guys on my adult recreation team play in the Coco Classic last year! They break it down into skill brackets so you are not getting thrown to the wolves right out of the gate. Draw categories cover recreational up through solid regional players. Scheduling was pretty reasonable, mostly late afternoons and weekends so you shouldn't have to miss work unless you make a deep run into the finals! Great way to test the knees out.

• Toddler Friendly Fall Activities in The Woodlands

  For something calmer, Old Time Christmas Tree Farm in Spring. Hayride, little train, petting zoo, and the trees make really pretty photos. $10 a person for ages 2 and up, attractions are extra. They do Thursday and Friday evenings 4 to 7 which was way less busy for us than Saturday.

• Hourani's Barbershop in Grogan's Mill Village Center

  That is great news for the local community, friend! We always need good spot options for getting the kids cleaned up before team picture day or weekend games. Having haircutting right in the Grogan's Mill shopping area saves parents a ton of driving back and forth across town.

• Affordable vet recommendations for kitten tail amputation

  Hang in there, friend! That sounds tough for a little guy, but kittens bounce back fast after tail procedures. I agree on skipping the emergency ER hospitals for something scheduled like this. When our family pet needed a basic procedure, the day clinics out towards Tomball and Magnolia were way more reasonable on pricing than anything near Town Center. My advice is to call three or four local clinics first thing in the morning, explain it is an injured tail needing amputation, and ask if they can give a ballpark range for surgery plus anesthesia. Most good local vets will give you a straight answer on price over the phone so you can plan!
