Sadly, Holmes’ riding instructor called out sick, so he fed the chickens and goats. He’s four years old, there’s still time if he’s so inclined:)

So many guttural giggles! Frank and Meryl play a game where they casually walk in front of Holmes, swinging daringly close but always missing them:) It could go on forever…for the laughs, I wouldn’t mind if it did.

What a gorgeous morning to hit up the skate park amidst the vines! Sunshine, smooth surfaces, and smiles. We’ll be back!

It’s pretty cool that Meryl can read books to Holmes in the back seat!

We skipped the pie situation all together and made cookies.

Holmes has taken to the hygge razzmatazz style dance in Frozen The Musical and put on an afternoon show:)

Meryl wrote all of our notes of thankfulness. We’re thankful for her penmanship!

We were so hungry, we forgot to take a picture at dinner time:)

Having a real time constellation app is so cool!

Serious talks on the patio of the (self proclaimed by the hotel) “sexiest rooftop in San Francisco” while eating pretzel bites and fries. We turned a lot of heads having had a reservation at the hotel restaurant…and then showing up with kids, while bypassing the gussied up people waiting in line to get in:) It was a pretty cool place to be.

AKA energy containment:)
