Hodgepodge July

I have a few random pictures to post from July, a month that has flown by. First, from the if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em file, here’s Bruce learning a new game that the boys are obsessed with.

Here’ Finn grating some onions. I just really liked his look in the onion goggles.

Ezra’s fifth grade promotion present finally arrived — a new Islabike.

Our chalkboard got a facelift (new blue paint) and made a reappearance after two years in a box in the garage. The boys (all three of them) had fun with it immediately.

We went to an A’s game a couple of weekends ago. It was a completely different experience from the Giants game last year. This is an old stadium with a diehard fan base that is sticking with the team despite many years of losing records and very few stadium amenities. It was a mellow afternoon in the sunshine for us. Check that off the NorCal list.

Best of all, the boys are both taking a hockey skating class in Redwood City.

They seem to really like it so far. Ezra is very excited to be learning the hockey stop. I liked this very old school display at the rink.

They’ll be taking this class through most of September, and then they’ll start the second class if they’re still interested.
