"Idle
hands are the devil's workshop." ~ Old Proverb
When it comes
to weekends, and spring and summer breaks, my grandson gets busy. During our
last visit to his home in California, we went with him to check out his tae
kwon do class and his art school hour on a Saturday, and his swimming class the
next day.
Tae Kwon Do
He's been
taking tae kwon do for about a year now, and is progressing very nicely,
earning his black-strip belt. The class is always fun to watch. After all they
are kids and just don't wear that concentrated look of a serious martial artist
yet.
Art Class
We didn't
really get to stay for his art class because there's nowhere for parents and
grandparents and other adults to sit and watch for an hour. Besides, the floors
are covered with brush marks and paint drippings like a real artist's studio.
So we hung
out at the nearby Starbucks while we waited.
But the wife
and I did get to see some of his work on display in his play room at home.
They're not bad for a kindergartener.
Swimming
His Sunday
swimming class is the last of his weekend leisure-time activities. The
swim academy is pretty close, just down the road from his home. It's in a business park area, plain on the outside but colorful and nice on the inside.
Lucky kid!
