Summer is going by decently quick, although there have been some long, hot, smothering days here in Katy. Thank God that we are fortunate enough to have a pool. That is the one thing that can get us outdoors during this heat. We having been swimming LOTS lately. Rylan will begin his first formal swimming lessons in two weeks. He is going to be in a class that will meet for thirty minutes every day for two weeks. After those two weeks, I think we will enroll in weekly maintenance lessons so that we can keep him going. He does really well in our pool, but we want him to be a little more comfortable if for some reason he finds himself under the water unexpectedly. So the goal in two weeks is for him to be able to make it to the side of a pool...keeping our fingers crossed.
Tomorrow we attend our third of five Kindermusic classes called the Zoo Train. He really seems to enjoy it, but what 2.5 year old little boy doesn't enjoy animals and trains? Each week, the class gets on a train to meet different animals. We dance around the room visiting the corners where new animals are discovered. The kiddos have time to play with different instruments and hula hoops, along with making a craft each week.
On Tuesdays you can find us at Fulshear Library, which is a TINY town west of here. They have an amazing toddler time hour that includes reading books, singing, dancing, themes, and a craft. The best part is that it is free and continues throughout the year. We will continue to go there as well during the school year.
The Thursday and Friday of Father's Day weekend, the three of us took a trip to Sea World San Antonio. It was an absolute blast!!!! Rylan had so much fun! We arrived around 4 p.m. on Thursday and attended three different shows. The look on Rylan's face when he first saw Shamu was absolutely priceless! I have never seen so much amazement in his eyes before! It was really touching. Friday found us at a couple of different shows, the waterpark, and the log ride. The log ride was hilarious as Rylan screamed happily going down the hills and getting wet! We exited Sea World to have a late lunch at the famous Rudy's BBQ and then headed back to our hotel and took a river cruise around the River Walk that evening. We returned home on Saturday and went to our favorite restaurant for Jason's birthday and then had a nice relaxing Sunday/Father's Day/birthday.
So long from Texas...keep smiling!
