Here is what he had to say…
Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline is hosting their Cartoon Cereal Party: Marvel-Ous Edition this Saturday May, 10 at 12 PM. If a Marvel montage weren’t enough to take you back to the days of oversized sleeping shirts or superhero underpants, there will be an all-you-can-eat sugary cereal bar. What? Who doesn’t want to be a kid again? If you can’t beat ’em, mom, just join ’em.
Second Saturdays are for families at Laguna Gloria with hands-on art-making activities inspired by the current exhibitions on view.

This Second Saturday the Tiny Regatta is inspired by artist Orly Genger’s seaworthy materials.
Are you a mom? Do you love a mom? Do you have a mom? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions then Listen to Your Mother might be the event for you (and your mom).
The Blues on the Green lineup has been announced! Get ready for sweating it out at Zilker Park this summer, all for the love of music, family, friends and food. Concerts start at 7:30 pm, we’ll see you there!
The Round Rock Express season is in full swing and with 70+ home games stretched from now until late summer, there’s no reason to not make it out to a couple. Dell Diamond has everything! Seriously, it’s like a dreamland for parents. Affordable tickets, a Fun Zone and fireworks every Friday, it’s a great way to entertain the family for an evening.
Family life is busy most of the time, and that can mean that fast food is somewhat of a necessity. Lucky for us Austinites, “fast food” doesn’t always mean we have to sacrifice quality. Hat Creek Burger Company uses hormone-free beef that is raised without antibiotics, their nuggets are gluten-free and their milkshakes are THE BEST. Pair that with a fun venue where kids and adults can relax and you’ve got a Feature Family Restaurant of the Week! Do512 Family editor, Jamie Jett, visited with her family, here’s what she thought….
