The First Tee

I'm taking golf lessons once a week with my class. Daddy volunteers on our golf field trip days, which is fun. Coach Scott is teaching me putting.

Homework Project

Now that I'm in Ms. Peterson's class, I'm working on some really big projects on my own. This Presidio Brochure includes a nice cover picture and a Presidio history timeline on the front, and information about local plants and a native bird species inside. I did all the research myself, used both typing and cursive, and the cover and bird illustrations are my own original drawings!

Room 205 Camping

Ms. Peterson's class went on a really fun overnight camping trip to Rob Hill in the Presidio. We did several hikes and went birding, too! My favorite part of the trip was the campfire. Ms. Jessamin (our old music teacher) was there, and we all sang campfire songs. 

Escape the Classroom

As a grand finale to my month-long birthday festivities, Mom created an awesome escape room for kids! We played Escape the Classroom at the Palace of Fine Arts, and solved all the puzzles in 40 minutes. I give it an A+!

Stanford Sierra Camp

Nonie and Doc got a cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe, so we got to visit for the weekend. It was so much fun! Emma and I went crawdad fishing off the boat dock.

Cool Birthday Party

At school, we had a popsicle party for my birthday. The San Francisco weather cooperated with plenty of sunshine. Lime is the best flavor. 

Swinging at the Ranch

Emilia and I went to a BBQ and tour of Stemple Creek Ranch. We got yellow rubber band balloons so we could bop them. 

Garden Day

The weekend before school started, Mom and I volunteered at the Jefferson garden work day. It's a great way to see the other kids and celebrate the end of summer.

Early Birthday

I began celebrating my birthday fortnight at Disneyland with Nonie and Doc. At California Adventure, I got this cute little cake. The syrup piles are Mickeys, too!

Beach Chalet Murals

Gramalicia's in town! We had a family dinner at the Park Chalet in SF.

Stuffies on Tour

Stan was our coach mascot. (It's a coach, not a bus!) He is a Welsh dragon. I also bought an Irish sheep on the ferry crossing. I named it Sheep-o.

At the end of our tour, Rachel (our tour guide) gave us baby dragons. I named mine Wafer, like the cookie. Emma and I found lots of our favorite sticker books on the trip, too!

No More Pictures

By the time we got to Ireland, I was pretty tired of everyone taking so many pictures. No pickie! No pickie! Although the scenery was beautiful...

Hello London!

On one of my first days in London with the Nickel family, we rode the London Eye. What a great view of the city, and a great start to our summer travels!

Palace at the Palace

While Shinteki was having a meeting, I built a castle! It's really big, but I had a lot of time to build it, so it wasn't as hard as I thought.

Visiting Papi and Mimi

I had a good time trying to decide what to order at Honeybee! They have lots of delicious breakfast there. I ended up ordering a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes. They were more than enough for me to eat! Thanks Mimi and Papi!
