I took you bowling for the first time last Saturday.  We went to Earl Anthony Dublin Bowl.  You were pretty excited to go, although a little concerned that you would miss an hour or so of playtime at home 🙂

When we got there you were more enthusiastic after getting your brightly colored ball and bowling shoes.  Everything was fine until it was your first turn, and you were really nervous about people watching you 🙂  So instead of rolling it yourself we utilized the ‘dinosaur ramp’ which is basically a slide for bowling balls.  You loved that, and you actually beat me the first game!  We played 2 games, then the prize-claw machine, then went home and played 🙂

We went to get ice cream after a haircut this last weekend.

I put my cone down for 5 seconds and then it’s gone into your face! Lol 🙂

You’ve been taking tumbling classes for about 8 months now.  When you started you couldn’t even do a jumping-jack properly 🙂 Now you are doing cartwheels, acro-jumps, handstands (not fully yet) and practicing for a big recital in October!  I take you to your class every Saturday at 5:15pm.  Your friend Kaylee goes to the same class, and you’ve made a new friend, Lucia, while you’ve been there.  Your teacher is Ms. Sarah and she has purple hair 🙂 Also there are teenage twins (the twinsies) that help teach the class occasionally.  This has been your favorite activity for a long time!

On Saturday 8/12/17 we went to Sacramento.  Auntie Gloria, Uncle Charles and their daughter Kate were going to take a train trip across the country and leaving out of Sacramento.  We picked them up from the San Francisco airport.  We took them out to eat at an authentic taco truck on the side of the road, stopped by the beach to collect sand for Kate, then drove to Sacramento and visited the state capital building.  We took them to their hotel, which was an old riverboat on the water converted into a hotel, then out to dinner after.  A very fun and exciting day meeting new family members and visiting new places 🙂

You started Kindergarten on Monday 8/14/17.  Your teacher is Miss Black.  The first week you fell in love with it 🙂  You’ve made several new friends (Avianna, Reese) and are really enjoying going to school every day.
