Santa Monica Adventure #2

I had a great time at the pier in Santa Monica for the second trip-thanks to Nonie and Doc for all the rides and the delicious Bubba Gump lunch! Emma and I only rode the dragon boat 11 times this trip, but we rode a lot of other rides. 

Sunflowers

At Aunt Stephanie's house this weekend, I dyed sunflowers! We had five sunflowers and we put food coloring in their water.

The blue one was the strongest after a few days. 

Rainbow!

While I was in Novato with Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Christian and Gramalicia, I missed a rainbow! This picture was taken over the library on Saint Patrick's Day. I think it came to wish my parents luck at the Lobby in Hawaii!

Pi Day Video Chat

On Pi day I had a video chat with Emma. I wish I was in San Diego with the Nickels now! I hope I can come and visit them soon. I also hope they saved me some pie. 

JPT Bowling Party

This Sunday we went to Sea Bowl for the annual JPT Christmas party. I won 2 of my 3 games, and I had a great time. I can't wait for next year's March bowling!

Garden Work Day

Elaine, Priscilla and I all went to garden work day at AP this Saturday. We painted sign backgrounds for the most part.   
We also sat on our favorite bench that we always eat lunch at. 

Color Factory

On Thursday I went to the Color Factory with Aunt Stephanie, Adrian and Liane. It was super fun! In the first room they had snack macarons to keep up your energy. They had a room with two enormous green markers and I wrote "JADE" with one.

They also had a room filled with ribbons that I got lost in, but I got out eventually.

Making Brigadeiros

Since Mimi and Papi are in Sonoma, I made brigadeiros with Mimi like we do every year. They were really good! We chose different sprinkles this year so that they wouldn't melt in our hands when we ate them. 
 

Monterey Weekend

This weekend I went to Monterey. I really liked the aquarium because of all the fish and even some otters that were very cute. On Sunday we got up really early and went to see tide pools during the low tide. We got to see so many little hermit crabs and anemones!

Making Slime

I'm starting my own slime factory, making edible slime using tapioca. Science!

Holmans Unite!

We all met up for dinner in Novato before I went to Sonoma for a weekend with Mimi and Papi. We also got a chance to celebrate Dad's birthday (a bit late). I'm so glad he is feeling better now!

We Want Justice!

On New Year's Day, Emma and I went shopping at Justice in San Diego. We also wore our matching "lemon aid" shirts!

Shinteki M&Ms

Our hotel was right across from the M&M World store in New York City. Emma and I found these M&M shaped pillows in Shinteki colors, and of course we had to take a picture! Emma's favorite is the orange one, because he is the most shy and he is on the least merchandise, besides maybe the brown one. 

Radio City Music Hall

I'm enjoying my trip to New York City with Emma, Nonie and Doc! The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular was great. It even ended with an indoor snowstorm! We are also going to see Wicked and The Merry Widow.

Almost Christmas!

Nonie and Doc came for a quick pre-Christmas visit. I showed them the view from the DeYoung observation deck, and we explored the Conservatory of Flowers, too!
