What parents have written back

Replies from the Thursday list.

“I used this twice in two weeks. The Bowness pick on Saturday saved our morning — we almost drove to Prince's Island and got the ‘it's too crowded' meltdown.”
Jess — Bowness, mom of a 3- and 7-year-old
“The bit about which splash pad actually turns on before June is exactly what I needed last year and couldn't find anywhere. My thumb is tired of Facebook groups.”
Priya — Mahogany, dad of a 4-year-old
“I read it on the bus Thursday and we have a plan before my wife gets home. That's it. That's the review.”
Andrew — Tuscany, dad of 2 and 5
