Nickel Festivus!

Uncle Bob, Aunt Misha and Emma visited us for a Festivus celebration! Emma and I really enjoyed the ginger cake. 

For the feats of strength, we played Hookey -a new game that we got for Christmas!

It's Raining!!!!!

While doing chicken care at APG, I found this enormous puddle in the parking lot! It was super fun, but the poor chickens barely got a break from the rain.

Nonie & Doc are here!

This weekend Nonie and Doc stopped by to pick up our gifts for the Nickels! While they were here, we went to see Mary Poppins at the San Francisco Playhouse.

It's Christian's Birthday!

I had a great time opening presents with Christian and Lyla this weekend! It's hard to believe Lyla is 14 months old already.

Burrito World Record

This weekend I went to a taqueria called La Costeña. They set a world record for largest burrito ever made!

Nickel Thanksgiving

I had a lot of fun with the Nickel family for thanksgiving! Baby Blair is 4 months old and super cute! I had to give her bunny ears, though. She was shocked at this new thing called "pictures!"

We Escaped!

I did the Doggy Dog World Escape Room in LA with the Nickels. We had a great time finding our lucky red ball and winning! Yay!

Arizona Road Trip!

We went to Arizona to run an event for a company called Neo. While driving home, we stopped here and got stepped on by a dinosaur!

Halloween!

I had a great time trick or treating with Zelda and Jeff! We went around the Sunset. I tried to play Saria's Song on the ocarina.

Home from Hawaii!

Mom and Dad got home from the Lobby! I am sad Gramalicia had to leave, but we had a great time while she was here. Goodbye Gramalicia! We love you!

Oktoberfest!

I had a great time at Oktoberfest on Saturday! Gramalicia just got here, and Emilia got to come with us too.

Self Defense Class!

This weekend Jeff and I took a self defense class together. We had fun and learned a lot!

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass!

We went to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival this weekend! We had a great time at Live From Here, and I saw Zelda on Sunday. I got to meet Zelda's dog Percy, and Zelda got to (see? meet?) our inflatable couch. 

Last Giants Game!

I had a lot of fun at the last Giants game of the year! Dave and Josie got to come with us too. I'm sad we lost to the Dodgers, and I'm sad Hunter Pence is leaving.
 
Dad and I got a Crazy Crab'z sandwich and Josie and I got some ice cream!

DASH 10

My mom and I helped to run DASH 10 in McLaren Park. We were at clue 9, Home On The Range. We also got to test out our inflatable couch! I enjoyed sitting on it and the teams got to try it out too.

It Wasn't Me!

We went to the Palace of Fine Arts this weekend. They are making a fourth escape room but I don't know anything about it. They have a board near Edison and I don't know who changed it!

Chuchu Pom poms!

We went up to Stephanie and Christian's house again to fill the birdfeeders and hang out. I brought some of my pom pom supplies and I made some chuchus! They are really cute and I plan on making an ice one too. 

Bird feeding!

While Steph and Christian are in Italy, we came to their house. We get to see all the quails and we even saw some deer! Today we are being lazy, but at least we filled the bird feeders. 

Birthday Party!

Today was my birthday party! We went to 4 different places and got a dessert item at each. Everyone had a lot of fun, and Emma came too! This is us on the N train when we were going back home!

Back to school!

Tomorrow I am going back to school. I can't wait to see my friends again! This year I switch classes every period, and I have 6 teachers instead of 4. I have homeroom with Jeff! This is my backpack and my new binder. 

Zoo Camp Slimes!

This weekend I am making slimes for zoo camp. I have made six slimes and I bought two other people's slimes. They are mostly vanilla flavored and honey flavored. Zoo camp is really fun, and we have an overnight on Thursday and Friday!

Japantown trip!

This weekend I went to Japantown with some of my friends. Elaine went to Japan and Hong Kong and brought me back some mango pocky and a Pusheen. We had a lot of fun and went to all the shops!

Marbling with Aunt Stephanie!

While my mom and dad were in Nashville, I went to Aunt Stephanie's for the weekend! We took a marbling class at Handcraft Studio School, where I made the pom poms. These are some of our group's creations drying!

Driving Home from Milwaukee!

I am almost home! We are driving back to SF in our new car, Chip. Our first stop was at Mall of America. It's huge!

Our last stop was at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield. We got a custom bag of jelly beans and got to see how they are made. And I met their mascot!

NPL Con

This weekend I am at NPL Con, or the National Puzzler's League Convention, in Milwaukee! There are a lot of puzzles, and most people bring one with them to share. I brought a puzzle called Elevator Trivia. Some of the questions I asked people are on the cards. The solution is on the stickers!

New Car!

We went to Chicago to get Mimi and Papi's old car. It's blue and we named it Chip, because of the chip in the windshield. Chip is a Rav4, just like our old car, Yoshi, was. I can't wait to ride in him!

Emma's Here!

This Saturday Emma came and we went to the Academy of Sciences. Then, on Sunday, we went to Japantown and played an escape room called Spellbound Supper, or (as I prefer to call it) Magical Dinner Table. We escaped at 56:08. This picture is our team photo, the Mighty Bananas!

Bear Creek Hike

This weekend I went to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival. I stayed the entire night on Sunday. It was so much fun! On Monday we hiked Bear Creek, a waterfall trail that's really pretty. This is a picture of me and Max at the waterfall!

Wisconsin Kayak Trip

While with Mimi and Papi, I went kayaking at Gordon Lodge in Wisconsin. We had a lot of fun at the lodge. We swam and kayaked, rode the ferry, finished my scarf and more! I can't wait to see them again in July!

Scarf in progress

This weekend I am with Mimi and Papi! I have started making a new scarf in Mimi’s studio. It is all on the loom and set up to weave! When I come back from Door County on Wednesday, I can start to weave it. 

Sunglasses bag!

I'm getting ready for summer! This weekend I went to the mall with Jeff, and I got new sunglasses. Then I made a bag for the sunglasses. I'm really proud of my creation and I can't wait to visit Mimi and Papi!

Geocache!

I hid a geocache at the Hidden Garden Steps this weekend! We had a lot of fun looking for one, but we didn't find a geocache at the Steps. So we made one and hid it ourselves! Maybe someone will find the geocache in the future. 

Giants Game

This weekend I went to a Giants game with Nonie and Doc. We got backpack giveaways for their 60th anniversary. Our seats were on the club level, so we had a really good view of the game. The Giants won! Go Giants!

Corgi Attack!

On Sunday, I went to Off The Grid while the Etters were in town. We invited a lot of people. The group next to us all had corgis, so I went over. The corgis were very energetic and excited!

Pom Pom Workshop

On Saturday, I did a pom pom workshop with Aunt Stephanie. I made 4 pom poms and a tassel, which are shown below. I really liked making pom poms and tassels on the Loome tool. Thanks Stephanie!

A.P. Open House

I went to the APG open house for incoming 6th graders on Sunday. There was boba, face paint, gear for sale, cotton candy and a booth for Mandarin class where Jeff, Elaine and I drew lots of triforces and other Legend of Zelda fan art. Elaine also drew a dragon. 

Reading Corner

I found a perfect place to sit by Stow Lake with a book. The rocks act as a chair, and I have a good view of the adorable goslings swimming by! I would read all day in my hidden little rock corner. 

Tiny Pie #2!

This weekend, I used the tiny pie pan that Aunt Misha gave me to make my own pie! I had already used the spice and crust mix provided, so I made it from scratch. We are rolling out the tiny pie crust now. 

500 Piece Weekend

This weekend I did a 500 piece puzzle without help! It's like a bunch of little puzzles, so it wasn't as hard as it could have been. I finished it on Sunday. 

Santa Monica Adventure #2

I had a great time at the pier in Santa Monica for the second trip-thanks to Nonie and Doc for all the rides and the delicious Bubba Gump lunch! Emma and I only rode the dragon boat 11 times this trip, but we rode a lot of other rides. 

Sunflowers

At Aunt Stephanie's house this weekend, I dyed sunflowers! We had five sunflowers and we put food coloring in their water.

The blue one was the strongest after a few days. 

Rainbow!

While I was in Novato with Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Christian and Gramalicia, I missed a rainbow! This picture was taken over the library on Saint Patrick's Day. I think it came to wish my parents luck at the Lobby in Hawaii!

Pi Day Video Chat

On Pi day I had a video chat with Emma. I wish I was in San Diego with the Nickels now! I hope I can come and visit them soon. I also hope they saved me some pie. 

JPT Bowling Party

This Sunday we went to Sea Bowl for the annual JPT Christmas party. I won 2 of my 3 games, and I had a great time. I can't wait for next year's March bowling!

Garden Work Day

Elaine, Priscilla and I all went to garden work day at AP this Saturday. We painted sign backgrounds for the most part.   
We also sat on our favorite bench that we always eat lunch at.
