July is concerts in the park, non stop swimming pools, learning to ride a bike, park afternoons, beach days, garden visits and celebrating friends.

summer adventuring
Summer vacation so far has been action packed. We began with our L.A. trip and that was so special. Our family hiked in the redwoods and took trips to San Francisco for the Cal Acamedy of Sciences and Japantown. Next Emma had a three week stint at A.C.E. camp (half day) with Hacienda Peralta. The 4th was spent watching the Oakland Municipal Band in Lakeside park. We visited the Alameda County fair and Emma has swim lessons for all of July!
The next month will hopefully include some warm weather for free swim, homeschooler park days and a more relaxed vibe. Sundays afternoons for concerts in the park are the leisurely style we live for. I am looking forward to lizarding a bit and laying down on a blanket to just look up into the trees.

As soon as Emma finished fifth grade we headed south to stay with Grandpa/my Dad.
Grandpa and Barbara and babies!
We ate out a lot and I drank many El Segundo brews of course!
We took this handsome guy for walks with Barbara while his mommy Elayne was out of town.

The pier is so fun to walk down but the weather was pretty foggy the whole time we were there and then the sun would come out at 5pm.

Emma loved played Bingo!

We had the best time and I already want to go back. ❤
