California Part 3

We visited two colleges near San Francisco, then dropped D off at the airport to go back to work. Then we headed to Socal, where we visited two more colleges, went to Ventura Pier, and braved Magic Mountain Fright Fest before heading back home.

California Part 2

We had a free day, so we headed to the Computer History Museum and the U.S.S. Hornet for some educational fun.

California Part 1

We decided to go to California for fall break to visit colleges and chill. We brought Snoopy and Finnegan. Snoopy wanted to see the ocean, so we headed to Santa Cruz for the sunset.

Finnegan

H came home from the gas station with a new friend, Finnegan.

Finnegan had a poem attached to him that the boys are constantly reciting:

Let's check it out so we can see

If you can swim faster than me.

I seriously doubt you'll win.

You haven't got a single fin.

My birthday is November 15.

So we have to throw him a party next month.

Supernerd

H is a National Merit Semifinalist! Way to go, Henrykins!

Homecoming

Both G and H went to homecoming and apparently threw glowsticks at each other. G and his crew opted to wear pink jackets for some reason. H went for a more conventional look. 

Northern Tier

This summer, H and G decided to go to Northern Tier, a Boy Scout camp in Minnesota focusing on canoeing. They canoed and portaged over 75 miles. They accidentally invaded Canada. They saw many loons. (They were disappointed that the base camp store did not have any stuffed loons to take back as a souvenir.)
