The nephew I’ve spent the most time celebrates his day right before he leaves the States to go back to his new home (as of last Fall) of Qatar. Hunter and his family were here for about a month too. We got a couple opportunities to hang out, let me play “cool” uncle, mainly by taking him to Pinballz, Rogues Gallery and having a little Lego party. You wouldn’t believe how overpriced those little bricks are in the Middle East.
Due to a family matter, he missed out on hanging with Cannon and Wyatt last Sunday to see Guardians of the Galaxy, Terra Toys (he’s too old for this I guess) and Dragon’s Lair. However, when he returned from Houston, we (as in Aunt Somara and me) got to take him out to Rudy’s for dinner and then wrap up at Waterloo Records. Here I had to gear him up with some new tunes for Qatar: a little old, Led Zeppelin remasters (Led Zeppelins, II and III) and Austin, Spoon’s latest and Gimme Fiction.
Thanks Hunter and his parents! I hope he does a bit more writing to us when he gets settled into school. Definitely can’t wait for his next visit, probably next Summer.
