Birthday Tea Party V2!

 This weekend I went to my friend Emma's birthday party! Like me, she had her birthday at a high tea restaurant, though we had different items and slightly fewer people. I had a great time regardless!

Ren Faire!

 This weekend I went to my first ever ren faire with my friend Emma! We had a fantastic time wandering around the faire and finding our favorite costumes and shops.

We also found some people with a Minecraft sword! It took a lot of courage to chase after them and ask for a picture, but they were super nice.

Santa Cruz Trip!

 This weekend I went on a day trip to Santa Cruz with some of my friends! We didn't ride any of the rides, but we walked around the beach and had a great time checking out the arcades and finding our names in the gift shop.

Meetup!

 This weekend, I organized a meetup in Golden Gate Park with one of my online friends, Cicada! They're super cool and I'm so glad we finally got to meet in person. We had a good time walking around the park and having a picnic lunch.

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!
