In they go! With Lola and Tito too on an adventure to make chocolate at the Theo Chocolate Factory!

All the toppings! Only Holmes played it cool wanting to edit what he put on his chocolate bark…because, why not eat the toppings first?

Last night’s performance practice for today’s performance debut!

Well, why not? Holmes decided he had a performance too and sang a self-written song about dragons, with “dragons” as the only lyric:) And it came with great moves!

The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles might just be the most adorable play ever! And the makeshift pandemic garage theater (instead of the school’s indoor stage) worked perfectly! Lights, audio, and all the parental cellphone camera action!

We’re headed to see cousins! (And aunts too.)

Sea glass searching, rock throwing, and…running with sticks:)

Meryl neeeeeded one last playground moment before we left for the ferry. Holmes eagerly agreed:)

Memory games and trains!

Holmes learned to cross his fingers (for luck!) and used all his wishful energy today to find birthday treats for Lummi:)

Looking fine at nine years old!
