Brushy Creek Lake Park is a 90 acre park - great place to spend the day or have a birthday party.  Located off of Brushy Creek just east of Parmer, Brushy Creek Lake Park opened to the public in 2003 and offers many nature lovers activities with a bike/walking track, a fountain play ground to cool the kidos off after playing on the playground, exercise stations, picnic and BBQ grills, covered pavilions, and bathrooms.  On the lake you can enjoy fishing, nature watching, or any non motorized boating.  My family has enjoyed this park many times and look forward to going back.  This public park is a huge asset for Cedar Park and is usually quite full on good sunny days.  For more information about Cedar Park go to www.buyhomecedarpark.com You can even view homes in the neighborhoods close ... 04/07/2008

We went shopping at Lakeline Mall in Cedar Park a couple of nights ago with all three kids in tow.  We first visited JC Penney so that my wife could pick out some clothes for her mom.  Since I was on kid duty, I watched the kids play "hide and seek" in the clothes racks and throughout the department.  I remember doing the same thing when I was little, but I didn't have any siblings, so my version basically consisted of me hiding until my mom was in a near panic looking for me, then popping out.  Surprise!  Why are there police with you, mom?They had an absolute blast, and although they were being a little loud, I did my best to restrain myself from telling them to keep it down.  It's Christmas time!  Why should I quell their joy?  I figured it was better than whining from boredom.  I gu... 12/22/2007

Here's one for you sports or hockey fans. I recently spoke to Buffalo Sabers fan who attended the Stanley Cup finals between the Sabers and the Dallas Stars years ago. She said it had been easier and cheaper to fly from New York to Texas, and get a ticket for the games held in Dallas than to go to a game in Buffalo. On top of that, she said there were probably more Buffalo fans than Stars fans at the games in Dallas.Besides the fact that she went to the game, I can't say if any of her story is really true. I do know that it took a while for hockey to catch on in Texas and I have to admit it seems a bit out of place so far south. With the Austin Ice Bats doing well, the groundwork is being set for another Central Texas hockey team in Cedar Park.DETAILS ON THE $43M HOCKEY COMPLEX Continu... 12/02/2007
