Piedmont 2022.2

We are now home from another wonderful trip to the Bay area!  The cousins had lots of time to play together (which is cool because they are all old enough to enjoy the play).

We did our best to polish off a fresh jar of Tutu's homemade apricot jam using english muffins as vessels.

We saw some incredible sunsets from the breakfast nook in Tutu's and Pop-pop's kitchen.

We played with Gracie.

We visited the Piedmont firefighters.

Played basketball and tennis with Pop-pop.

Thawed our chilled bodies in the hot tub.

Shared a yummy apple fritter from a bakery by Lake Merritt.

And, experienced 5-star treatment at the Warriors-Kings game at Chase Center with great seats (thanks Pop-pop), VIP parking, access to the Chase Club, and courtside seats to watch the Warriors warm up (thanks Bruce)!

We are exhausted from our big adventure, but are over the moon about all that we were able to do in such a short period of time.  'Til next time Piedmont family, and thank you for everything!

halloween 2.0

Since last year was such a success, Gordy and I drafted up, cut, and assembled notes with ribbons for our neighbors letting them know that we would be haunting our street again on Halloween night.

We put our notes in everyone's mailboxes and crossed our fingers for participation.  Sure enough, half the street was out waiting for our crew at 6:30pm sharp.  And this year, our mob grew from 2 kids to 5!

We had two witches, a unicorn, a cat, and an astronaut complete with a jetpack made of juice bottles covered in aluminum foil and duct tape.  The kids all had a blast running a muck on the street and the neighbors were happy to have trick-or-treaters again.

Seems like we've started a Kaiea Place tradition that we hope lasts for years to come.
