Pinnacles + Urban Adamah bonfire

We went to Pinnacles State Park

Caves in the rocks! The rock is conglomerate and formed from an ancient volcano!
This park, on the San Andreas Fault, used to be 200 miles to the south

Entrance to one of the caves

W/Dorian -- we saw a bat!

And then.....

Bonfire and clowns at Urban Adamah farm in Berkeley for Lag b'Omer

Both kids said they want to be clowns when they grow up

There were chocolate raisins and chips for dinner (with lots of other healthier potluck options of course, but that's what the kids chose) and s'more-making by the bonfire, and playing with the clowns who also did fire juggling -- AND it went until 8:00 which is WAY late. They loved it.

Noah's 7

We had a party for Noah's 7th birthday. It was at the Fam's house on 5/5, Noah's actual birthday. Josh and the kids made an ice cream cake. And Josh prepped two projects for the kids to make - rubberband shooters and make-you-own fidget spinners. There were 7 kids and Olivia's little sister Mary who is Aviva's age. 

The bottom of the cake was crusty cookie crust and was hard to eat. Especially when you don't use a fork. In the picture, you can also see a rubberband shooter on the table, decorated with paint pens
