Hot Rod Hen

If you could choose one car to be the first you ever fire up, a vintage Boss Mustang 302 would be a pretty great one! Happily that was Henry’s privilege on Sunday night as we visited our friends Philip & Rachel in San Francisco. Watch him rev up the delight:

Giant trees, then & now

Way back in 2011 (good grief), we took our tiny guys & big car through the famous Chandelier Tree up in Leggett, CA. Check out the week men (gallery) back then…

…and witness what a very tight squeeze it was:

I mention it because today Margot & her greatly scaled-up copilot Hen are tooling around the same region, and he just sent me a re-creation of that transit. Makes for a fun comparison!

8th Wonder Finn

We’re so happy to say that Finn has finished up his grade school career with flying colors! Over the course of several days last week, we got to join him to receive awards marking his accomplishments in bilingual learning & theater arts…

…plus his official graduation from Hoover Middle School!

Following the ceremony we forced him to hold still for a few family pics😉…

…and then headed to Palermo Italian Restaurant for a joint celebration of his milestones + Margot’s birthday. Check out the gallery!

Captains of Finndustrees

It’s pretty rare to get the ol’ Finnster interested in camping these days, so I was especially delighted that he wanted to mark the end of eighth grade (!) with me & Seamus by spending a couple of nights amongst the redwoods near Santa Cruz.

We headed out on Friday night following his school dance, and we spent a chill Saturday cruising up Highway 1 to his favorite restaurant (the Roadhouse in Davenport), letting Seamy cavort on the beach (tiring out a small new pal!), and generally relaxing at our campsite. Check out a gallery from our dudes’ weekend.
