My Birthday!

 This weekend I got to celebrate my birthday! I went out to high tea at Lovejoy's Tearoom with some of my friends.

 I gave all of them different dress codes, so we all showed up in different outfits! It was super fun.

First Day of School!

 This week was my first day of school! I'm a junior now, so I can become a peer mentor. That's what my red button is for-- I get to help a group of freshmen get accustomed to the school, and tell them about my own experiences!

Baseball Game!

 This weekend I went to a baseball game! We had a great time watching the Giants win and eating our crab sandwich. It was a close game, but we won with a walk-off home run!

Costa Rica Trip!

 This week I'm still in Costa Rica! I got to do a ton of fun stuff, like ziplining and rappelling through the canopy.

The whole group is awesome too! Left to right: Owen, Rye, Alessandra, me, and Kenneth!

Costa Rica Waterfall Gardens!

 This weekend I'm on my long-awaited Costa Rica trip! We only have 5 kids on the trip, so I know everyone already. Today we went to Waterfall Gardens, and got a tour courtesy of one of Aunt Stephanie's friends! We all had a great time.

I even got a butterfly to land on me!

NPL Con!

 This weekend I went to Nashville for NPL Con! I had a great time running a modification of my trivia game, No Elevator Trivia.

We also got to explore some of downtown Nashville, including this pedestrian bridge!

Volunteer Party!

 This week was my last week of volunteering as a counselor! I got to run around the zoo and do a scavenger hunt with some of my friends. One of the items was to take a group photo, so here we are! Left to right: Amia, Katie, me, and Kiefer!

Nonie and Doc's Birthdays!

 This weekend, the Nickels came up to celebrate Nonie and Doc's 80th birthdays with us! We had dinner at our house one night. After that, we got to go to Trader Vic's and the Nickels played an escape room!

Volunteering Time!

 This week, I got to do my first volunteering at the SF Zoo! This time, instead of being on Nature Trail, I'm a camp counselor. I had kindergarteners this week. They were a bit difficult to handle, but I had fun!

Telluride Time!

 This week I got to spend time in Telluride after the festival! While the dads climbed Needle Rock, a notoriously difficult hike, I got to climb Bear Creek, like we do every year! The waterfall at the top is really nice.

Festival Sunday!

 This weekend, I went to Telluride for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival! I've really missed going to the festival, and this one was super fun! We managed to get a whole-tarp picture with all 13 people at nighttime. I also have a cool cape on!

Mimi & Papi Visit!

 This week I got to visit Mimi and Papi for the first time in over two years! It was super exciting to see their new house in Wisconsin.

We also got to see Stephanie and Christian there! I had fun getting to see all of them.

Park Picnic!

 This weekend, I got together with some friends in Golden Gate Park!

We also made sure to go to a bookstore for Birdie, since she's moving away soon. I had a lot of fun, and I hope that we'll stay in touch!

End Of Year Picnic!

 This week I had my last days of school, so I had a picnic at the front of school grounds with some friends! We had a great time even though we didn't have much planned.

Last Weeks of School!

 This week, my history class selected superlative awards! There was a write-in option in addition to the four awards we gave out, and I won the write-in contest with the award "Best Vibes"! I'm super honored that my classmates liked me enough to give me this.
