Who would guess that Texas could be fun in the summer? But I suppose when you are with your family anything is fun, even in 101 degree heat. There is a breeze, the swimming is fun and Schlitterbahn:Super Water park was great.
Yesterday was the best though:
Jack and I tutored his cousins on using Context clues and Text Documentation: UGH. But because it was Jack and I 'teaching' it, they cooperated and Jack is a tough teacher!
Jack: 'lots' isn't a word
Thomas: yes it is
Jack: no it isn't and that isn't even a complete sentence.
Guess what? Thomas fixed everything! Instead of a two word answer, Jack got 4 sentences out of him. Intro, 2 supporting details, and a conclusion.
Then we made some homemade pizza for lunch.

and had some SSR time after lunch.

Kate 'tutored' Rachel upstairs at a small school desk and that went well too.
On tap for today. More of the same but we are also going to visit the Alamo and take a boat ride on the RiverWalk.
I wish we lived closer and I could be a real aunt to these great kids....I feel so sad.

uggh don't be sad..You ARE definitely a real aunt. This post makes me happy. James and I ad a great time there in February too, it is just so dang HOT. Hope you enjoyed the Alamo and Riverwalk. I love the riverwalk there, my favorite place in TX :) I also just like being on base, wherever she is stationed, it just makes me feel a combination of safe and proud
