A family of four paddles a swan boat down The Woodlands Waterway. The parents (a white couple with blond hair and blue lifejackets) are sitting in the front of the boat. Two daughters (around 6-8 years old, wearing bright red-orange lifejackets) are standing in the back of the boat, leaning in over their parents' shoulders. Behind them are lush green trees and modern office buildings with windows reflecting the bright blue sky.

Fireworks over The Fountains at Waterway Square

How It Began: Red, Hot & Blue Festival

The camera overlooks a low-lit dining room with round booths clustered in the center with square tables aligned around them. People are seated at tables throughout the room, though not directly in front of the camera. There is a window looking into the kitchen in the back right with an eagle sculpture in front of it.

New In Town: Boutiques, Bistros, and Bars

The camera focuses on an expertly plated meal at The Waterway Marriott. It features a nearly rare steak, cut into strips, and it's topped with a BBQ-like sauce, long and skinny mushrooms, orange flower petals, and sprouts. It is served with several cooked carrots (yellow and orange) and cooked cauliflower, and it's served on a thick yellow saffron sauce.

Q&A: Michael Batke, Executive Chef of The Waterway Marriott

The camera focuses on a play area within The Woodlands Children's Museum. The walls are painted with cartoon-like waves, a pirate ship, a giant octopus, and a smiling sun. In the back, there is a red-and-white striped lighthouse. On the right, there is part of a farmer's market exhibit visible.
