Sierra City

    Hey! Nola here. I've never written on this blog, but here I am, doing it for the first time at 12 years old in 6th grade. We are in a pandemic, and online school just got out for the summer. In June, we went to tiny little Sierra City in the mountains with the Warchilds, our neighbors down the street. We rented a house up there and were treated with beautiful views and glorious alpine lakes to swim in. We (Sarek, me, Eli, and Pepper) even saw a dear in the house's backyard which is also the woods. We went stargazing on our last day, seeing a few shooting stars. We celebrated father's day and the kids had a prank war (my team won, no matter what Sarek says). The adults worked from home. I even got to cook breakfast a few times all by myself! The kids biked up a hill in the tiny town to a small, old cemetery. Then, being the kids we are, we played Ouija the same night. It was our first time out of the city since the start of the pandemic, and it was a wonderful treat.

Universal Studios

When in LA, do the LA things! We headed to Universal Studios after a weekend at Sarek's basketball tournament in Anaheim. Harry Potter World was sort of anti-climactic despite the Butterbeer. Nola went home with Hermione's wand, and Sarek filled up on Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. Glad we went but don't need to go again.

Days of SF MOMA

 A huge benefit of raising kids in the city are the museums. Spiders and famous art...

Da Pigs

We got guinea pigs on May 18th, 2019!! Nola was super excited. We got them from Deena's co-worker, Kara, who delivered Nola...and delivered Nola's "babies" as well.  Originally named Dega and Georgie, Nola renamed them Luna and Alaska. We constantly joke that Luna is fat and Alaska is a bully. Because they are. Brett refers to them as the Death Bunnies.
