Lost and Found

The following email was sent to us about a baby carrier lost in Balcones Park.  If you have any information,  please contact us.

We spent Saturday morning at Balcones park with our family. I wore my younger daughter in a mei tai baby carrier, and left it by a tree while I was swinging her. I forgot it when we left, but it was gone when we went back looking for it. If anyone has any information or the carrier, please contact me. I am very sad, as I wore both of my daughters in the carrier. It is lime green with a floral pattern.
