Pressure and present, pretty close

Dad said:'Ray, you need to come to bathroom to have a bath.' 

No response at all.

Dad said:'I am serious. I am counting 1 2 3.'

Ray showed up in the bathroom and said:'I don't like dad counting 123.'

Dad:'You don't like it because you don't like pressure.' Dad was just trying to say something to distract Ray's attention, so bathing job could go smoothly.

Ray didn't say anything.

Here dad came again.

Dad said:'You don't like pressure. Then what do you like?' 

Here Ray goes:'I like present.'

Festival on sixth street

Sixth street is an Austin attraction with lots of bars, live music, and weird stores. Austin even crowns itself as a capital of live music. Well, Austin is weird and let's keep Austin weird.

Guadaplupe River Tubing

Tubing makes Guadalupe river famous. We drifted for about two hours, passing smooth water and rapids with a lot of fun. Also we swam in Canyon lake, a man-made dam lake in south Austin. We all were impressed by the water. Tony was too little to take it. Sorry, Tony, maybe next year.

A new chapter of leisure transportation

Since our success of bike riding to Champion park, bikes became the second most popular vehicle in my family after automobiles. The second most popular vehicle sounds trivial, but this popularity was won from three strollers, two tike wagons, and scooter. It is all about tranSPORTation.

Who is scared of whom?

This is Staple, our neighbor Mrs. Sally's dog. She is a master of catching flying balls. If you throw a tennis ball from where she is resting to the far away meadow, she can always get there and back with the ball. The kid basketball is the largest ball she conquered with her magic mouth.
I am a little scared of her as she ran towards me a few times. One time I was trying to run away but I felt down to the ground.
Actually she is really scared of me. She just pretends rushing to me but she always swerved her course in the end. If a ball were on the ground, we both are scared of picking it up if we are both around, as we both are concerned if the other party would attack.
Tony is also scared of her. She bumped Tony once which made Tony cry hard. We don't have a dog at home so that we had little experience dealing with doggies. With Staple around, we are dealing better now.
