“Nick Jr.’s popular TV show for kids, ‘Yo Gabba Gabba,’ will lend its characters to a Vans collection for kids this November. The Slip-On and Sk8-Hi Deconstruct will both appear in various canvas builds showing the show’s monster-like characters.”

That’s Meta on the left and her cousin Natalie on the right.

In March we took our first trip to the California Academy of Sciences located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. We went with Ong and Ba Ngoai and Amy, Uncle Mikey and Natalie and everyone had lots of fun. We left the house a lot later than planned and parking was challenging to say the least, so if you go, leave early in the morning! We drove around for about 40 minutes before finding a parking spot. Ticket prices can be a little high so if you want to save, be on the lookout for tickets on Craigslist. The Academy houses an aquarium, planetarium, 4-story rainforest, natural history museum and more, showcasing a multitude of habitats. Some of our favorites from the Academy of Sciences was the albino alligator and the descent from the rainforest canopy down into the flooded Amazon basin by way of elevator. Meta and Noah enjoyed the young children’s play area while Augie, Eli and Daddy watched the planetarium show. Tickets are free to the planetarium but limited – another reason to visit early. Another tip: the rainforest gets really hot and humid so be prepared to shed some layers as you make your way up to the canopy. The Academy of Sciences is a great place to further pique children’s interest in science and allow them to see up close the wonders of nature.

Posted up at a library on the Southside. You know how we do.

The starting point to the San Jose Bike Party on June 18 was located at the Shorty Fatz parking lot where we had set up a table. We took the little ones along and a photographer named Alexander Bauzon took a picture of the babies riding in their wagon. They brought their trikes along and I’ll be posting some of our own photos soon. Thanks for the photo!
