Ian tries fencing

The fencing center had an "open" day so family and friends could "try" fencing.  Ian decided to give it a try.  He ultimately didn't "like" fencing because:

"There are too many things to remember...for example you can't hit the legs and I'm not good with the sword and I don't like to get sweaty...."

But it was fun to play.  

Private swim coaching

Ian is doing very well.  To help bring his "swim game" to the next level, Coach Marcus is doing private 1 on 1 lessons with Ian to refine his stroke technique, entry, turns, and finish.  

Equestrians - fun with horses

Dog days of Summer - Waterpark

100 degrees in Texas in late July.  PERFECT time to visit a waterpark.

Playdates and Mommy & Me afternoon

As the older children do their "academic enhancements" and what-not, its not quite so structured for the baby.  Hana enjoys playdates, Mommy & Me afternoons in Town Square, and lounging around the house after a math worksheet and viola practice.  Summer fun for this 2nd grader.

 Playdate with Jack and Jill friend

Girls day out - fun times one-on-one time with my girl.
