This is my summer off before school starts! I left Montessori school in May, so it’s four months before I’m starting Kindergarten. Until then, no routine, just lots of lazing around, sleeping in, and watching cartoons until noon : -)

To kick off the summer, I had a huge Birthday bash! We rented a cabin for the weekend at the KOA Santa Cuz/Monterey Bay, with 30 kids and their parents. We had a barbeque, prosecco, and an ice cream bar. We flew airplanes, went in the pool and hot tub, played on the giant bouncy thing, and took a train ride. All my best friends were there: Niko, Ben, Owen, Branson, Miles, Omari, Jack, Freya, Bodhi, Brooklyn, Bodie, Noah, Jason, Eliza, and Sitka!

Mom and dad loved partying with all my friends’ cool parents! It was 3 solid days of fun with all my new toys to play with… a kite, telescope, and bug-sucking vacuum! More Legos, puzzles, transformers, and trains! Dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs, and a dinosaur t-shirt! Random, mischievous things like my rubber snake and whoopie cushion! And best of all: my new skim board!

I went to my first Summer Camp! We took the city buses all over town… to parks, museums, rollerskating rinks, swimming pools, and movie theaters!

Dad and I have been doing a lot of biking. I’ve been practicing riding without training wheels, but I still crash a lot. I’ve also been riding behind Dad in my new wheehoo!

I’ve had lots of play dates this summer with Branson, Niko, Ben and Owen, and Madelyn.

Sometimes all this playing just knocks me out and I fall asleep on the spot!

Dad took this picture of me drooling.

Here’s my hairdresser, Travis. Next time we’re going with the mohawk.

I did some fishing in B.C with Dad this summer, and caught some nice little trout! I actually got two fish on one cast with Uncle Terry!

I’m still doing my karate, and I’m now an Orange belt!

Grandma and Courtney threw a party for Auntie Lisa and Uncle Brad for their 25 year wedding anniversary!

This summer, I swam in Harrison lake and in Okanagan lake.Summerland was the most fun because I jumped off the pier with Tami and Alexa, ate hot dogs at the beach, and played with Skagit!

Mommy’s been running again, and daddy and I cheer for her at the finish line. She did a couple 10Ks and the San Franciso Half Marathon! It does seem to take forever for her to finally show up…

Daddy’s been working in the yard, leveling it out with 5 dump trucks of gravel!

He also spent tons of time this summer getting ready for Burning Man… mom and dad were gone for 10 whole days! Grandma Roemer did an awesome job looking after me. We played trains, Legos, and cars. She read dozens of books to me, and made me pancakes and fresh-baked cookies.

Jason and Eliza were a big part of my summer fun, and we went bowling, ferris wheeling, and sailing!

And now school will soon begin… so much for the family reunions and summer camps! Now I’m off to Kindergarten!
