August Break - Day 22: FREEDOM

We were on a mini staycation this past weekend at the JW Marriott in San Antonio.  We had a great time floating in the hotel's lazy river and Little Mister flirted with every female lifeguard that he came across - figures.  He also enjoyed the wide open spaces with plenty of room to run. 

If he could speak, I would guess he'd be shouting, "FREEDOM!"

August Break - Day 19: SPIRIT

 

Happy Friday, everyone!

August Break - Day 18: SNOW

There has been a heatwave here in South Texas for so long, I forget what cold feels like.  Today's photo might help to bring back that chilly feeling.

August Break - Day 16: DRAGONFRUIT AND MANGOSTEEN

August Break - Day 15: ANOTHER SUNSET

Not that I don't have thousands of photographs under my belt, but another sunset seemed worth sharing.

I missed posting on Friday (bad Michelle!) but I'm back in full force.

Happy Monday to you all!

I love the texture and color of the grass. 

August Break - Day 3: HYANNIS PORT

Old picture, but it brings back fun memories

August Break - Day 2: SPLASH

Because it's so darn hot in Texas, we let Little Mister have reign over the water hose.  He got a kick out of trying to get us wet, too. 

The photo above is me narrowly missing getting doused myself - excuse the blurriness but I thought it rightfully captured the panicked frenzy.

August Break - Day 1: CRAVE

If you remember from this post, I told you about participating in the August Break 2011 where we are to post a picture every day about anything.  Sounds pretty open ended, yes?  Why not, says I - sounds like a challenge!  I will post a new picture every weekday (and weekends if I feel up for it).  Sometimes I will elaborate with a long rant about something or another, but most likely I'll spare you of my charms.  So lets kick this off shall we?

This weekend we visited Houston and one evening we had a mad craving for cupcakes and what do we happen upon?

Crave Cupcakes in Houston.

What are the odds?  I love their logo on the door. 

August Break

This next month, I'm joining in with a group of bloggers in an event called:

During this event, all participants will post a picture daily (!) with whatever photographic medium we wish to utilize during the month of August.  Fun!  I can't wait to get started.
 
Head on over to Susannah Conway's blog for more information if you are interested!  

I'm looking forward to running with this and hope with all hopes that I stick with it.  I think (and hope - have i mentioned that?) that if I publicly commit to something, it might actually happen.  So wish me luck and join me, friends!
