Summer Vacation (for Houston)

It’s hot, sunny, and the summertime vacation (school is out) for my son Houston. Which means, of course, that I get to spend even more time with him during the day.

Activities include swimming a few times per week; Tae Kwon Do classes three times per week; drums and guitar lessons two times per week; and many days of bike riding and razor scootering.

We try to squeeze in some good books to practice his reading, and his Mom plays cards and puzzles with him. His Grandma from Phoenix already came out for a long visit which he enjoyed very much. This week, he is attending Bible Camp half-days, and will spend a week of full days at the T-Bar summer camp next month.

We have one real vacation trip planned for him at our favorite resort, the Hyatt Lost Pines in Bastrop County, just 19 miles east of Austin. We’ll be there the week of July 4th and plan on fishing, archery, swimming the Lazy River, horse riding, petting the Llamas, bike riding, camp fires with ‘smores, visiting the longhorn bull, and having a blast.

I hope you can take off some time from your busy work-life and immerse yourself in your family and have some real fun.
