What’s your family doing for fun these days? We’d love to know! Are you going on hikes, crafting holiday gifts, decorating gingerbread houses at home? Whatever you’re up to, we’d love to see a photo of it! Your activity might provide some inspiration to another family. Let’s pass great ideas around! Join us in participating in the December installment of the Do512 Family Show & Share with prizes from Austin Steam Train!
What is the Show & Share? This is a fun way to share photos of your adorable kids while also helping inspire other Austin parents with some good ideas for family activities. Each week during the month of November, we will include a featured family photo in our email newsletters as well as on our Facebook page.
How to participate: Snap a photo of your cute family and email it to [email protected]. Please include:
- A very short description of what your family is doing and where
- The last name of your family
Why send in a photo? Each featured Show & Share family will have their photo displayed in a Do512 Family email newsletter on Monday as well on the Do512 Family Facebook page. Enjoy the bragging rights, forward it on to impress Grandma, print out a copy for your scrapbook. Also, each featured family in December will get a $100 Gift Certificate to use on any train ride with Austin Steam Train!
The Austin Steam Train gives riders a sense of traveling back in time on their cool, restored coaches — some dating back to the 1920s — as they zip through the picture-perfect Texas Hill Country. Currently, they are offering rides on the North Pole Flyer where you can go on a real train ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus and enjoy storytime, hot cocoa, a sing-along with elves, and Christmas cookies along their journey.

Rules & Important Details about Show & Share:
- All submissions must be made by the parent or legal guardian of the children included in the photos. (i.e, please do not send in photos that include children of your friends, neighbors, or others that might not wish to be featured / or grant their approval.)
- By sharing your photos, please know that they might be included in an email to all Do512 Family readers, shared on social media and possibly be used in future Do512 articles.
- Please do not submit professional photos or anything that requires special photographer credit other than the family’s last name.
- Please only send photos taken in the local area or within a day trip of Austin.
- Take note that not all photos submitted will be used in the Show & Share. We know that is kind of a bummer, but our team will be looking for a wide variety of activities and locales to include that showcase a span of different types of family fun in Austin. If we have lots and lots of great pics submitted, we will post a gallery of all photos on our Facebook page.
We’d also LOVE to share your Instagram stories! If you’re posting stories of your fall adventures on Instagram and would like for us to reshare, please tag @Do512Family!
