Summer's End

With just a week and a half till school starts, we are squeezing out the last drops of summer. Those of you that are from South Texas, know that it will continue to feel like summer for the next three months. After all we only have three seasons here- hot, hotter, and Christmas. Soon though, hotter will be over and it will just be hot!

This summer we went on this incredible adventure called Summer Camp. Mommy decided a good way to spend the summer would be to volunteer to spend 8 weeks with numerous children in my classroom. While I felt a bit peaked towards the end of July, it was truly the right decision. As I have been off for a week and am missing my job completely. Not my summer camp job, but my real gig- teaching! My classroom is pretty much ready and I am thrilled to get started.

The kids, mine and at least 4-5 others each day, traipsed through our town and enjoyed our city thouroghly.We visited:

• the aquarium
• the beach (the national seashore has a very intresting beach walk)
• the pool
• the movies
• the captain clark flagship
• bowling alley
• asian cultures museum
  
• glow in the dark mini-golf
• the water park
• the science museum
• went horseback riding
• shopped at HEB
  
• we have baked bread, made egg-rolls, glued, and painted for hours
  
• and probably some other places I am too exhauseted to recall
  

Its been a good summer.... and we still have a few days left. On the menu for tonight- dinner at the beach!
