Camp Galileo

Ale and I are going to Chefology camp this week. The entrance to camp is called the FUN MACHINE!!

Up Late

On the last day of the festival, I stayed up until the very end, for the first time ever! Jason Mraz closed the show with "Love is Still the Answer". Plus, I picked up so many glowsticks!

A Little Bluegrass Vending

Today Max and I kicked off the Telluride Bluegrass festival by earning a little spending money. We made Peanut Butter Bites and sold them to the hungry Festivarians waiting in line for the gates to open.

Surprise Party!

We helped Uncle Christian throw a party for Stephanie's 50th birthday. Surprise! The balloons had lights inside.

Summer in San Francisco

Mom and I climbed Coit Tower and saw our favorite view – fog! And maybe a hint of the Ferry Building a couple blocks away. All the tourists seemed disappointed that they couldn't see more of the city, but we didn't mind.

5th Grade Promotion

School's out, and I'm ready for summer! I had a great time at Jefferson, but I'm excited to move up to AP Giannini Middle School, too.

Adios, San Luis Obispo de Tolosa!

With the end of the school year approaching, I've been cleaning out old homework projects, like this model of a California mission. The best part was smashing the front wall with my foot!

Hairspray!

It was a busy weekend, with my Girls on the Run 5K and my performance in Hairspray! I played Amber, because it feels so good to be bad.

Gramalicia Escapes the Palace!

Gramalicia was in town for Stephanie's art show opening. While she was here, I showed her the Palace escape rooms. With a little help from Mom, we solved Houdini's room in record time!

Sailing on the Bay

My class went on a field trip to Treasure Island Sailing Center for a science class about wind energy, and a short cruise in the San Francisco Bay! My boat group was Katie, me, Ale, Alex, Lexi and Soph.

Girl Scout Visit

This weekend, Emma and her friends Avalon and Ava came to San Francisco for their Girl Scout bridging ceremony. Afterwards, I showed them around Japantown, too. We took a moment to meditate in the Peace Pavilion-- until Mom interrupted us to take a picture!

Two Flaps Down!

Tonight we went to the Giants vs. Padres game. We got in super-early to pick up the limited edition giveaway item: The Two Flaps Down Hat. It's great for staying warm on late, foggy nights at the ballpark.

Marching Again???

I'm totally over this activism thing. But I came to the Science March with Mom anyway, because she's a scientist and I support her. Plus, I like science puns. #STEM-inist

Class Camping Trip

The entire 5th grade is on a camping trip in Alliance Redwoods right now. I know it's not a race, but my car arrived 4th, which is pretty fast. The boys from the top 3 cars did the dab to celebrate their victory, but Ale and I are way more mature than that! No, Ale, don't dab!

Final Jefferson Garden Day

Today was my last chance to volunteer in the Jefferson Garden before I go to AP (that's my middle school). I tried to show some of the younger kids how to properly goof around when an adult takes a picture.
