Hippity, Hoppity, Easter’s On Its Way!
Enjoying Community Activities in Katy This Easter Season
March 24, 2010 – Katy, Texas – I love spring. I love the comfortable weather and the flowers. But I especially love Easter.
I have such fond memories of Easters past. My family partook in so many of the Easter traditions: egg hunts, church on Sunday morning, confetti eggs, dying hard boiled eggs… the list goes on and on. Now that I have two children of my own, I feel giddy about the opportunity to pass these traditions down to them. And pass them down I will.
But my new favorite tradition started last year. The Waters Church at 2710 N. Mason Road (Suite #145) hosts an annual Easter Fest in the parking lot of the church. Our family went last year, and we were amazed at how much there was for our children to enjoy.
A lot of community outreach programs focus on Easter egg hunts this time of year, and we plan to be a part of many of those as well. But The Waters Easter Fest is more like a carnival than the traditional Easter egg hunt event. Last year, my oldest daughter got to have a pony ride, get her face painted, jump in bouncy houses, enjoy a petting zoo, and eat hot dogs for dinner at Easter Fest.Â
I’m looking forward to Easter Fest this upcoming Wednesday, March 31st from 6:30-8:30 pm. I’m sure many of the attractions from last year will be back, and this year I know my 3 year old daughter is really looking forward to the fire truck and a visit from Chuck E. Cheese.  Â
My family is always game for a free night of entertainment, and this year will be no exception.
We’ll be in the parking lot of The Waters Church from 6:30 until 8:30 this upcoming Wednesday night. I hope to see you there!
