The Three Muskateers

Palomi 's last time seeing Owen before he moved to North Carolina. Her best friend since she was one. A sad day for the parents.

Camping with Owen, Ben and Families

After a year or so of talking about it, we finally did it. We took the kids camping! In case meltdowns, we went to nearby Chabot Park in Oakland.

Storytime with Palomi

Scream Mushroom

A little backstory may help. Screaming in tunnels is something Palomi loved to do. Driving through a tunnel twice a day with Palomi's set of pipes, we quickly got tired of it. In a moment of inspiration, I suggested we say something or sing something. So we had many months of random (and often invented) words, phrases, and sounds that we would sing or yell in the tunnel.

Recently, Palomi has each of us do a different sound while she repeats "Scream Mushroom". No idea where she got that phrase. John Cage, eat your heart out.
