“Private” (as in closed to the public due to Covid) fireworks show right across the street from us. Only a handful of these closed shows were going around this year so we got lucky this one was so close.

Got a little loud for E.

The blinding grand finale…

Full moon from our deck.

We call these two brothers from another mother.

Biked to Waterfront Park where they played for hours and could’ve gone on for longer…

That light… still makes us hold our breath for a sec (or more).

Hard to believe we were just inside the Star of India a few months prior…

Oh to be a kid again.

Hiking down a canyon to a waterfall with J.

Good to see J’s dad who had knee surgery a few months ago.

It was pretty steep and rocky.

The boys led the way.

Made it to the cooling waters.

The ascent was easier in some ways without as much slipping and sliding. :P

Waiting for our takeout.

Daddy’s deal: you can watch only while planking. :P

Quarantine tail.

Before Salon a la Papa Ong.

After.

And this boy has been reading LOTS!
