Ventura Bike Ride

A few days ago, we took a family bike ride on a path by the beach in Ventura.  We rode our bikes out on the pier, played at a playground on the beach, and had a hot dog while we watched people surf.  When we got back to the van, we heard a hissing sound.  It was Mommy's bike tire going flat!

7th Birthday

For my birthday this year, I had a new school friend, Amanda, over to play after school.  Then, we went to the Elephant Bar for dinner, and then back to my house for ice cream cake.  Amanda and I decorated it!

 This was my favorite birthday present from my Oma.  Her name is Abbey.

Monterey

In November, my family went to Pacific Grove so that Daddy could go to a math conference.  While he was at meetings, Mommy, Keenan and I went to a carnival just for kids.  We also rode our scooters in the hotel parking lot, and had s'mores at the hotel fire pit.

 It rained most of the time we were there.  It stopped long enough for us to chase the waves at this beach.  Right after this picture was taken, Keenan got caught by a wave and got wet and had a fit.

 We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium three times.  My favorite parts were all of them!

 Look at all these jellies!

Here, Keenan is being silly in our hotel room.  We had fun jumping on the beds and building Legos that Mommy brought.
