June Celebrations
National Aquarium Month
This month is National Aquarium Month! Celebrate by making a visit to the San Antonio Aquarium, our local aquarium. “The San Antonio Aquarium welcomes everyone to enjoy the unique interactive experiences found within, and is especially excited to introduce children and families to the world beneath the ocean’s surface. Guests are encouraged to hand feed sharks, rays, birds, and fish, or to get up close and personal with many of the reptiles and other animals on exhibit. Above all, the San Antonio Aquarium promotes education through an interactive experience in a comfortable environment.”
The San Antonio Aquarium is only an 11-minute drive from our apartment community.

Movie Suggestions
Hotel Artemis
“A woman runs a secret emergency room for criminals as rioting continues to devastate Los Angeles in 2028.”
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Check out Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom this month on Friday, June 22.
“Four years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing return to the island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that's about to erupt. They soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinos while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet.”
Book Suggestions
Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman
“Only two people know of Carol’s eerie condition. One is her husband, Dwight, who married Carol for her fortune, and—when she lapses into another coma—plots to seize it by proclaiming her dead and quickly burying her . . . alive. The other is her lost love, the infamous outlaw James Moxie. When word of Carol’s dreadful fate reaches him, Moxie rides the Trail again to save his beloved from an early, unnatural grave.”
The City of Lost Fortunes by Bryan Camp
“The post–Katrina New Orleans of The City of Lost Fortunes is a place haunted by its history and by the hurricane’s destruction, a place that is hoping to survive the rebuilding of its present long enough to ensure that it has a future. Street magician Jude Dubuisson is likewise burdened by his past and by the consequences of the storm, because he has a secret: the magical ability to find lost things, a gift passed down to him by the father he has never known—a father who just happens to be more than human.”
