Sweet Melissa


JASPER SAYS: I think that Melissa is a great and beautiful snake. As you can see in the picture below, she is spotted. She is a girl as we have been saying she. This is our early Christmas presents. My friends mom came up with the name Melissa and I really liked it, so did my brother. Melissa can sometimes can take a bath with you. She can swim in the bath and she might tickle you a little bit. I really wanted a snake. I am glad we have Melissa.

SILAS SAY: Melissa is a really fun pet to have. I am so glad we have a snake now, I have been waiting. Melissa is a great pet, especially because you can hold her, and it is especially fun to have her because she sometimes goes into your clothes. We were thinking actually about getting a corn snake, but my dad told us about the Ball Python and we got it off Craigslist. It was a really lucky thing because my dad found it from a good home. She likes dark places like nocturnal animals. Since she is a really big snake she can actually eat three mice every two weeks.

Hardly Strictly


Last weekend we enjoyed a couple days at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. This is a free concert with at least 5 stages and huge acts. First night we headed over and snuck up fairly close to see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. I love their music, and it was great to see a rock n' roll hero for the first time. Loved their versions of Led Zeppelin songs. The boys loved being at the show.

Letterboxing

JASPER SAYS: Letterboxing is really fun. It is when you go out and find a box with a stamp in it. And you stamp their stamp in your book and their stamp in your book. Today we went and found seven letterboxes in Sonoma. It was FUN!!
SILAS SAYS: Letterboxing is really fun. First you look on the computer for clues. Then you take them out and try to find them. Today we did seven letterboxes in Sonoma with the Turners. Yesterday I did four with my Dada only, and I went to a pool party too.

Fall is Our Summer

Last week we had a run of 8 days of sun and great surf. Hundreds of people out in front of the house. Of course the CrockerBoys could not stay away. Silas finally took to Boogie Boarding his "new favorite water sport." Jasper continued to get better at surfing. And, Dada surfed until he could not move any longer. Great days with the Sunset neighborhood kids. What a weekend: Clone Wars, beach, BBQ, Dim sum, clarinet, and friends.

Jasper on the wave. No help from anyone.
