Rushton planned dinner tonight so we had ribs, Caesar salad, naan toasted with Parmesan, and watermelon. For dessert, we broke in our new fire pit with s’mores! (And Logan literally BROKE it—dropped one of the border tiles. )

We made it up to the top of the Campanile just before it closed! Logan spotted Cal’s pool and a dog park immediately, and he kept saying how he couldn’t believe that it’s 307 feet tall.

Yesterday we made pinball machines, paper rockets, and a lunar elevation map at the Lawrence Hall of Science with @bainla and some cousins. We love the creative and helpful UC Berkeley students who run the craft area!

This bin of crayons melted into a brick outside in the heat this weekend! It was even under a tree in the shade the whole time.

Two days in the heat and WE. ARE. COOKED. I love watching how hard these kids work and how they cheer for each other. I’m so proud of my kids for making it to the end of another fabulous swim team season! ‍♀️

We celebrated Aunt Laura’s birthday last night with Pixar fireworks and some baseball at the A’s game! It was so cool to have such an up-high up-close view of the fireworks show! Hailey said she’s ready for a Toy Story Movie Marathon. I’m down!

I don’t know what was happening here, but I like it. #rootedinoakland

Logan started the day off by losing his very first tooth! For the last few days, he has been game for all of Hailey’s tooth-extraction suggestions, but @whyisjake finally made it happen.

What better way to spend a 101-degree day than sweating our guts out at an all-day swim meet with our friends!
