    Considering its a public lake, literally no one can stop you from bringing children- there's going to be normal people with kids there anyway. If anyone feels the need to 'ban children' completely and without question, and doesn't agree with the right to bring kids to a public swimming area...they better find a new group of mermaids to hang with (that may make me sound like a dick but w/e)

    Of course that isn't to say one should not watch their kids or be irresponsible, and I'm sure many of us don't want to play baby sitter for someone's unruly children

    (However, pets are not allowed at the swimmimg area tho so PLZ leave them at home)

    If it's the hot summer like we are expecting, the bugs are mostly dead from the heat and drought. But, if it's a mild summer (for us) and not bone dry, the mosquito are the size of birds and numerous.

    I have no problem with minors coming, but they should have an adult or guardian present just in case. And parents/guardians should know it's not always a PG Disney atmosphere when folks get together.

    I have no problem with kids, as long as they have an adult with them.

    I checked the Grand Prarie and Arlington public school calenders and both start on the 21st, so the 26-27th shouldn't be as crowded. Sounds good to me.

    I'll update the main post with everything at some point. Do we want to make a FB event too? That way it can be shared to wherever by any mers that see it. I am not in any FB groups so I will not be posting in them myself.

    A fb event sounds like a smart idea.

    I really appreciate everyone being open to my daughter joining- she's not really a kid, but couldn't come last time. However, such a good point, now that you mention it- as far as I know the people coordinating didn't own Krause or Barton springs, lol- it's a public place, I should've just taken her! She works as a mermaid but was banned from a mermaid meetup I think the two of us plan to be there- unfortunately I lost a friend very unexpectedly last week and my world is a little upside down, but would love to come if we can.
