Uncle Mark's Retirement Ceremony

Uncle Mark retired from the United States Air Force this summer.  

The ceremony was held on July 16 in San Antonio.

 We were fortunate enough to be able to attend the ceremony and the family gathering afterwards.  

Mu Sool Won in July

Glenn has been learning all kinds of new things in Mu Sool Won.  One of his favorite games was the Bomb Game.  The mats would be out and Master Kevin would choose which spots had 'bombs'.  If the kids jumped on a square with a bomb, they had to go back to the beginning.  The first one to the end, won.  

Short Visit from Mom and Dad in July

My sister and her family moved to the Dallas area over the July 4th weekend.  My brother in law, Morian got a new job there!  My parents drove out with them to help with the long drive and the two cars and kids.  They decided to come down to Austin for a short visit to see us!

Monday afternoon we went to Glenn's Mu Sool Won class, and then we went to dinner at The Salt Lick.  It's not the original one in downtown Austin, but it's just north of where we were living.  

Personal Mu Sool Won Class

Normally when we attended Mu Sool Won, we'd go Tuesday-Thursday and have other kids in the class.  Master Kevin also offered class on Monday but we usually didn't make it.  But my parents came into town the weekend of July 4th--they overlapped with Arik and Natasha for a day.  Glenn wanted to show Grandma and Grandpa the things he had been learning.

Well that day--Monday the 6th--no other kids showed up, so he got a personal lesson.

Independence Day

Paul's brother, Arik and his new wife, Natasha, were in Houston for a summer internship.  They came to Austin and San Antonio for the Fourth of July weekend.
