Fairy Door

Whenever I'm at the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park, I like to check on the fairy that lives there. I knocked on the door but nobody was home, so I left a note.

May is so busy

This month has been crazy, with Mom & Dad working long hours, all sorts of year-end activities at Jefferson and final exams in Mandarin. But we still had time for the whole family to attend the Junior Olympics. My relay team got second place in the 6 by 70 meter race!

Stone Soup

My class performed the musical Stone Soup today. I was a narrator, although I knew all the other lines and songs, too!

That's a Big Cat

The SF Zoo had an employee party last week, and we got to walk around after closing time. I got so close to the tiger! It was cool, although I don't think the tiger enjoyed having people around at bedtime.

We Escaped!

While we were in Seattle earlier this month, I played in my first escape room game, Puzzle Break - 20,000 Leagues. Our team, Will Bananas Blend, set the new record for fastest escape! The next day, Daddy's team (including Todd, Rich, Jonathan and the Youngs) won the Microsoft Puzzle Hunt. They're pretty good at puzzles!

Mom's Birthday!

This morning I surprised Mom with breakfast, coffee and a homemade present. After school, Daddy and I took Mom out for burritos and extra hugs.

So-Cal Weekend

Last weekend Mom and I drove to Southern California. I rode a pony in Griffith Park, and then we met up with Emma and the rest of the Nickels. I also went swimming and bird watching!

Easter Playdate

My new friend Emily lives just down the street from Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian. She stopped by on Easter and we ate cupcakes. Frosting first, of course!

Lunar Eclipse

I woke up at 4:15 this morning to watch the lunar eclipse. The view from our front steps was perfect!

Braces Half Off!

Today my upper braces were removed! I will still have the lower ones for a little longer, but I don't mind.

Secret Lake

I have been to Stern Grove lots of times, but I never knew that there is a lake at the far end of the park. Climbing a tree is the best way to see the lake.

Generations

It was so great having Gramalicia in town for the week. I got to see Stephanie a lot, too! We all like art projects and laughing too hard.

Style Consultant

While Gramalicia is here in San Francisco, I'm helping her pick out new glasses. I have a lot of suggestions!

Science Night

There were so many cool experiments at Jefferson Elementary's Science Night. Daddy helped me make blue gak, which feels like raw meat! It's really a mixture of borax and glue solution.

Cousin Love

Emma met me in Disneyland last weekend, and we had so much fun! We really like to run around Toontown by ourselves, even though we don't ride any rides while we're there. See ya later, Moms!
