Summertime = Family Traditions

When Memorial Day came & went, I began to think that we don't have enough family traditions at our house.  But as our summer begins, I realize that we do have quite a few.  For instance, in the summertime, it's a tradition that we are in the pool early in the morning.  We also have a tradition of going to Junior All-Sports Camp at Walnut Creek Country Club. The kids have a great time and a full day of activities, coming home exhausted everday. 

Next up is our annual family vacation.  This year we're going back to Galveston, staying at Point West.  We love this place for many reasons. But mostly because of the proximity to the beach, the bay, the pool, the lazy river, and the daily family activities.  This year we'll be spending the 4th of July there as well. We always have fun on July 4th, testing out new fireworks.  I always tell Eric that if he goes to jail, I will not pick him up until the morning. 

This year we are also vacationing with another family of 4.  Fun, fun, fun!

And lastly, I always try to take Addison to see a play or musical every summer. This summer, we're going to try to schedule Hairspray at Bass Hall.

So, while I may not be turning out butterball turkeys every Thanksgiving, I'm pretty excited about the Walker family traditions of summer.
