GEARING UP FOR STORY BOOK PARADES

At many of The Woodland's elementary schools, it is a tradition to hold a Story Book Parade the week of Halloween.

The students get to dress up as their favorite story book character and parade around the school showing off their costumes for all the parents and family who attend.

SOME CHOOSE TO GO AS ANIMALS...SUCH AS THIS ADORABLE CHEETAH!

HEROINES ARE ALWAYS FAVORITES!

A MAGICAL PRINCESS IS ALWAYS A HIT!

SOME BIG KIDS JOIN IN THE PARADE, TOO. THIS PIRATE DRESSED AS SPONGE BOB!!

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU ARE GOING TO MEET AT THE PARADE!

EVEN CURIOUS GEORGE DROPPED BY FOR A BANANA!

Looking for a home for your favorite characters, contact me, Mary Bowen, I can give you all the lastest information about The Woodlands. I don't just work in The Woodlands ...I live here, too.

Ten Reasons I Love The Woodlands and You Will Too

Having Lived in heart of The Woodlands since Jan., 2000, I have come to love everything about community. My top ten reasons for living in The Woodlands:

  1. The people are awesome! I have never lived in a place where the community rallies around its neighbors during times of need like the why the people of The Woodlands.
  2. The public schools are great! Again, parents of The Woodlands are heavily involved in their children's education and it shows in the schools' state ratings.
  3. There is so much to do! It seems that every weekend there is some sort of free community event. From concerts to carnivals to educational events.
  4. The Wildlife! The community is filled with deer, squirrels, armadillos, raccoons, rabbits, opossums, bald eagles, turkey vultures, song birds and more.
  5. The Entertainment! The Woodlands is loaded with entertainment and restaurants. We have the Cynthia Woods Pavilion, The Waterway, Market Street, The Mall, Main Event and many, many others.
  6. Medical Facilities! We have top notch doctors and medical treatment facilities. No need to travel to the med center.
  7. Places of Worship! The Woodlands has a place to worship for just about every religion.
  8. The Beauty! The Woodlands is in my opinion the most beautiful area in the Houston Metroplex to live. The trees, the lakes, and the master planning of the community makes it a peaceful and serene place to call home.
  9. The Hike and Bike Trails! With over 140 miles of hike and bike trails connecting neighborhoods, schools, parks, and commercial areas, driving is just one option for getting around The Woodlands.
  10. The Trolleys and Water Taxi!! Once you get to Town Center, you can travel from one business to another using the trolleys and water taxis services. Currently the trolleys are free and the water taxis cost $6.00 to ride all day.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF LIFE IN THE WOODS!
