They also have free lollipops for the kids at the market street pharmacy if they ever need a prescription. 

If you are by the bakery and you don't see any cookies out you can ask for one for your little one. They are always generous. 

At check out, you can ask for a HEB sticker (they usually put them on big items that don't fit in bags).

Pump It Up: New Pop-In Playtime Hours! M-F 9:30am -5pm

This is historic! Pump it up progessed from open only a couple of mornings a week to mornings and afternoons, and now ALL DAY!

I wonder if it is a coincidence that their new hours are similar to Wonderwild's hours, which happens to be located down the street.

The last few afternoon play times I went to (because I had b1g1 coupons in the Entertainment book, I needed to use up), they were almost empty. Hopefully, this will increase their traffic.

If you share the cost of admission, the coupon makes it $3/person for 5 and under or $4/person for 6 and up.

Reminder: Indian Springs Taste of the Village this Saturday!

We have gone in years past. There was a giant tent set up in the Indian Springs Shopping Center with tons of food. We made the mistake of eating lunch before going. My advice is to go to this FOR lunch. They also had a stage with music and some other entertainment like a wells fargo stage coach that you could climb in. I consider it a worthwhile event to go to. You can be in and out in 30 minutes to an hour.
