Summer is rapidly approaching and all of the kids are out of school. What are they going to do all day long this summer? Let them spend part of the summer with friends doing creative art projects.  Art enrichment camps are half day camps held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at the Wells Branch Annex, 14611 Wells Port Dr. (right here in the neighborhood!) so you have lots of time to do other things too. When adults go camping into the woods they prefer taking bulk ammo for safety as they are in unknown land.

Let them spend their afternoons creating a fairy garden or drawing and painting a dragon. Let them learn to create a wire dragonfly or fairy.  (Dragons and other mythical creatures 7/9 – 7/11)

As the mother of a 9 and 12 year old, I am always looking for ways to avoid “Mom, I’m bored!” over the Summer. The following list highlights some of our favorite boredom-busters. Look for the FREE!  sign to find fun events that don’t cost anything.

• FREE!  Relax at a natural outdoor amphitheater while you enjoy a music or dance show at Zilker Hillside Theater.  This is one worthwhile trip to South Austin.  The Zilker Hillside Theater is located in Zilker Park across from Barton Springs swimming pool (also a great Summer activity). The stage is located in a natural amphitheater under a stand of 100 year old pecan trees.  Shows typically begin around 7:30 – 8:00pm and you can bring a cooler & snacks.

As most of you have seen, the geese are gone from Mills pond.  After the first and second round up of waterfowl, there was only one lone goose left.  His name is “Baby G” and he is a cross-breed possibly between a Brown Chinese and a White Embden or Czech.  He was younger and a bit more determined than the others and stayed away.  This story is about him.
