Over my dead body will I fall behind on this blog.
So, in that grumpy spirit, allow me to post a bunch of mismatched photos that I don’t have time to post separately.

I have been thinking about a 40th birthday in Venice.
Was it a sign when this painting came home in Oscar’s backpack yesterday?

Good thing we have a long time to think about it!
I really like this day at school – it’s executed extremely well, and everyone gets to enjoy a great day. Last year I volunteered to be a chaperone of a group, and was happy to do it again!
SFFD
Waffle making, and eating
Nasty: “Owl Pellets” really means rodent remains
Salsa Dancing with Barbara!
The parents get treated to the most delicious udon, made by parents on site.
Oscar did his first Egg Drop, with Brayden!
This is the entry, made 2 days earlier.
This is what’s inside
I didn’t hang around for the actual drop, but here is the text info between me and Brayden’s mom, Belinda ;)
We had so much fun, and Oscar wants to go back again, asap.
I considered it a “warm up” for real camping, because this was too easy!
This is where we stayed, in Cloverdale:

The kabins have electricity, and are even nicer than the Lair. Oscar ran around, or biked, unsupervised, with his buddies. Well, not completely unsupervised, – all the parents participated in an informal zone defense. The kids played pick up wiffle ball, and who knows what else. Something called Everybody It Tag. It was awesome to hang out with the families.
We got to leave Lucy with Omi & Opi, so we could relax, and drink, and not worry about Lucy kamikazeing into the lake. Thanks Omi! (Lucy did great)
