By the time Thursday came around, and after days of negative test results, we masked up and headed to the Pacific Science Center. What a gift it was to visit when few people were there!

While at the Pacific Science Center, we realized that the Jane Goodall documentary was showing at the IMAX theater…so we went back on Friday and literally got the entire theater to ourselves. Plus, we got to explore the museum and butterfly room again as a bonus.

Fencing! The CDC also changed their rules on Friday (a week late from our perspective), and this gave us more confidence in attending Meryl’s first fencing class! We know absolutely nothing about the sport…and we’re excited to learn. Meryl is loving it especially (she’s in the pink pants).

Little brother sighting! Holmes tested out his speed on the piste, which is the metal runway-type strip that serves as the playing area for a fencing match. Learning!

In the pool:)

Stairs are hard. Gotta sit for a moment. (Much to catch-up on, always. And, Humbao is growing!)

Morning school drop-off…it’s not just the kids who are learning, Humbao is too!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. In a galaxy, far, far away, we went on an epic adventure.

Jumping into hyperspace and outmaneuvering the odds aboard the Millennium Falcon. Punch it!

Captured by the First Order no more! We joined a covert team of Resistance fighters, accepted a secret mission, and succeeded…Meryl especially loved the vertical ‘drop’ as we escaped back on to Batuu.

Building lightsabers and becoming one with the Force!

Thanks to the guidance of Savi’s Gatherers, the kids chose their lightsaber hilt themes (Meryl chose Peace and Justice, Holmes chose Elemental Nature), selected their kyber crystal colors (Meryl chose blue, Holmes chose red), assembled their hilts, and connected their lightsaber blades to stand ready for anything the galaxy puts in their path! And this is when Frank shed tears of joy:)
