Pancakes and bacon for breakfast today!!
Father’s Day
We celebrated Father’s Day at Uncle Johnny’s House this evening.
Heading South
School is out so we are heading south to Cerritos! It’s our first road trip since February and everyone is excited to get out of town.
The kids were good about not touching anything if they had to go to the public restroom and ate in their lunch in the car.
We stopped at Harris Ranch to check out their meats. The kids brought their point-and-shoot cameras along to snap photos of everything in sight.
It was a nice place to stretch out legs, take a bathroom break (in a very clean place), and get out sillies out.
We also walked away with a lot of meat to cook this week!
We had a quick drive down (no traffic) and the kids did a great job keeping themselves occupied.
Homemade Ice Cream
In Science class today, Janie learned how to make homemade ice cream using two ziploc bags. We gave it a try and it totally worked! Here’s the recipe:
Funny Sound
One of Peanut’s special talents is making this funny machine gun sound with his mouth.
Cherry Picking
It’s been 2 months of Shelter-in-Place and the kids hadn’t left Alameda this entire time. We went on a special outing to Brentwood for some cherry picking. The farm we went to took appointments and when we arrived, it was nice and empty. We had rows and rows to ourselves and SO MANY CHERRIES to pick!
The kids had a great time and they were excited to bring home all the cherries for snacking.
This guy couldn’t wait and had his fair share of samples while were were picking.
We brought home 9 pounds of cherries and we were done by 9:30 when it started to rain.
We also stopped at 99 Ranch on the way home and waited in the car while Dada shopped.We had some cherries and also walked to the donut shop next door to pick up some treats.
Peanut fell asleep with the donut in his hand on our drive home.
Home Haircut
The hair trimming kit was on backorder so Plan B was to borrow a kit from Auntie Teresa. Mama watched a couple YouTube videos and gave Peanut a haircut for the first time.The main goal was to trim the front and free his ears again.

Quarantine Hair
Peanut is overdue for a haircut and we had to be creative with how to keep the hair out of his eyes.
The hair trimming set is on it’s way from Amazon. Just a few more days…
Google Eye Goggle Head
Peanut calls himself Google Eye Goggle Head when he wears these funny glasses.
Practice Ride
Now that Peanut has learned how to ride a bike, we took a practice ride to his new school. Each year, Mama and Dada have walked to ridden bikes with Janie to school on the first day and we hope to do the same with Peanut too!
We made it to school in one piece and Peanut was excited to be going to the same school as his big sister.
We then kept going – past Harbor Bay Club and along the water.
He did a great job but got tired trying to keep up with Dada and Janie.
We took a little break and the stuffies got to enjoy the view of the city too.
When it was time to head home, the stuffies went back into Peanut bike bucket.
We all got home safely and we rode over 4 miles today.
As a special treat, we hopped in the van and went to Jamba Juice. We ordered ahead and Mama went out to pick up the smoothies. Meanwhile, the kids stayed in the van with Dada and ended up in the back row!
