Before Christmas, Michael and I took Maya on a little Saturday afternoon adventure downtown for lunch and a stroll around Los Trompos, or the Spinning Tops, at Discovery Green. I really didn’t understand quite how big they would be, or that they would be covered in children spinning around and around! I thought they were more of an art installation than a temporary colorful playground!
Also, how handsome is my husband pushing that stroller? Photos like this remind me of how long I dreamed of photos like this.
Maya was obviously much too small to really enjoy Los Trompos, so we sat and fed her and people watched instead. And I tried to take a few photos without looking like a creeper. Ha!
While we were there, a girl celebrating her quinceanara wandered through with all her little dressed up friends. She looked like another spinning top!
Discovery Green was teeming with kids and their families on a Saturday afternoon. It’s such a funny spot with big old trees, yet surrounded by giant sky rises.
If you go, maybe try on a Tuesday morning? It might be a little more peaceful!
