Chickens!

Mom and I are official chicken keepers at my new school, APG. Even in the summer, I get to hang out in the garden at school!

Skylark Ranch Camp

I just spent a week at Skylark Ranch, a Girl Scout camp in Pescadero. My group of 24 girls did a survival camp called Gilligan's Island. I'm on the far left in this picture, with Ale. Recognize my Nickel Beer hat?

Kids of Carcassone

Ale slept over at my house. We played Kids of Carcassone a lot. It's a really fun game, with adorable animals. The sheep are so cute.

Cheese!

I celebrated the Fourth of July in San Diego with the Nickels. Emma and I shared a cheese plate with fruit and bread. We brought picnic blankets and watched the fireworks from Shelter Island.

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!
