in addition to our summer travels, the kids have been having a blast at various camps. so far the two front-runners couldn't be more different from each other. coastal camp is a day camp out in the marin headlands, where they hiked all day, learned about sharks, ate lunch on the trail, and sang traditional camp songs (we even took a tick off jacks head on the last day - yay nature!). creativeIQ is an art camp where they drew, painted, and worked with clay in a small art studio - all indoors and with 15 other students 6-13 years old. i'm happy they have such varied interests! we are now in countdown mode - less than 1 week until 1st grade starts.
and yeah, these pictures below were taken july 6...and it's august 14th...i'm THAT far behind!!!

lyla got a special evening full of movies |

 |
| we all headed to the marin county fair with oona's family |
 |
| i think lyla had fun |
 |
