As soon as we got out of the last day of school, we went on a road trip to Portland! Since we are not good at long car rides, Mommy and Daddy decided to drive only a little bit each day, so it took us 4 days to get there! We stopped at a lot of places, slept a lot in the car, listened to two whole Harry Potter books, and ate sooooo many snacks.
We had a lot of fun on the second day and got way better at skiing! We even got to go on the slope with jumps and tricks, and were pretty good at skiing around them. It was so hot, we don’t know how the snow didn’t all melt. We didn’t wear any jackets or goggles, and sunburned our faces and eyes. Can’t wait to go back!
This spring break, we went skiing at Lake Tahoe! Actually it was a mountain near Truckee. We never saw Lake Tahoe. We tried to go last year but Kayli got Coronavirus so we had to cancel everything. This year though, we took a nice drive to Tahoe with a super fun stop in Sacramento. We ate tons of snacks and ordered lots of mac and cheese that we did not eat. We learned to ski and we are so good! Leia fell off the ski lift once but went right back on and even learned to jump! Mommy and Daddy are so happy that we love this super expensive sport!
It was a nice sunny day in San Diego. We ate a yummy lunch of fried chicken and french fries by the water, and that’s where we did our silliest dance ever!
Over Christmas break, we had to use up some Southwest credit so we flew to San Diego! Daddy was stressed because of Coronavirus. We were not stressed. We just wanted to go to new parks! And we did… a lot of them! We also went to the zoo, got Tea Station, walked over cool bridges, ate tons of snacks, ate pizza, ate in the hotel, and ate tons of snacks!
Other than beaches, we also went to this funny place called the Mystery Spot. It is a mystery because everything is crooked and we get dizzy and can’t walk straight. And Mommy got really sick! We also went to a Redwood forest with HUUUGE trees. A lot of the trees had big holes on the side that we could walk through, and one of them we could go inside!
This year we were planning to go to Hawaii during Kayli’s fall break, but cancelled because of dumb coronavirus. But instead, we went to Santa Cruz for two days! First was a stop at Gilroy Gardens at night where they had super cool Halloween decorations! Then lots of beaches, snacks, and junk food. Lots of french fries. We love vacation! Except the driving part.
This year we got to carve pumpkins for the first time! Kayli wanted to do a traditional Jack-o-Lantern. Daddy helped draw it on the pumpkin, but they Kayli carved it all by herself! Leia wanted to do a paw, from Paw Patrol. They turned out awesome! But they got super moldy and gross really really fast, so we had to dump them before Halloween!
After skipping trick or treating last year, Kayli got to go this year! Poor Leia got sick on Halloween and couldn’t go, but we ended up with tons and tons of candy still.
We got to go to Legoland on the last day before California opened everything back up. We drove from Uncle Jim’s house to Legoland and spent all day there! The last time we went, Leia had to nap so we only spent half a day, but now she can stay up! We stayed until they closed, ate dinner, and then slept in the car on the way back to Uncle Jim’s.

P.S. This happened a long time ago… in June. It’s already October. Daddy is getting lazy. I mean he’s been busy.
