From Houston to Washington, Maryem had an incredible summer! ⚾🌊✈️

Here is a quick look at her summer adventures:
- Won Astros tickets through the Reliant Summer Reading Program with her brother, Issam Emilio
- Explored marine biology in Galveston and hiked 6 miles in Washington
- Trained hard for her upcoming ice skating competition
- Met an all-female pilot team on her flight home (matching her dream job!)

Despite such a packed schedule, Maryem is still asking her family every day what is next. She can’t wait to get back to school! 🎒💙

Jackson has had such an exciting and memorable summer! ☀️ He traveled out of state for the very first time, visiting Florida and getting to experience the adventure alongside his little brother, which made it even more special. He also had an amazing time at SeaWorld and spent lots of quality time with family throughout the summer. From new places and exciting adventures to simple moments with the people he loves, Jackson has made so many wonderful memories that he’ll be able to look back on for years to come! 💙
