15+ Fun and Free Things to Do in Houston - Part 2

on
My original post about Free and Fun Things to Do in Houston was published seven years ago, back when I was deep in the trenches of early motherhood. We spent most of our days exploring parks, playgrounds, and all the free family activities we could find—and we loved every minute of it. Houston had so much to offer back then, and I was constantly amazed by how many things we could do without spending a dime. But honestly? The last couple of years have completely blown me away.

After Hurricane Ike Wrecked Galveston Island In 2008, Local Artists Turned Tree Stumps Into Beautiful Sculptures

on

After Hurricane Ike hit Galveston Island in 2008, there was little left intact plus there was a major impact on woody plants. A year later, the city agreed to turn dead trees into pelicans, dolphins and musical instruments.
Since then local artists have been transforming a historical part of the island, making elaborate sculptures to adorn many front yards. Nowadays, this tree art takes on a new meaning as a declaration of resilience and a wholeness with nature.
