Simple

Max and I just got back from camping with the K-3rd grades from his school. It was a lot of mellow parents, and about 60 kids running free in the wilds of California State Parks. It felt great to say to Max, "Stay in the campground. Check in once in a while. Go have fun! See you later." He had a blast and it was nice to just let him explore without supervising his every move. The parents had a really nice time too, and with the exception of a very cold first night, everything went smoothly.

We found this hawk moth in the women's bathroom. It sat on our hands for about 30 minutes, warmed up and took off. Just an amazing creature. I have never seen a moth that large.

I am so grateful for this school. The parents are uniformly relaxed, appropriate and a joy the be around. The kids are smart, funny and free to be themselves. The teachers are amazing and make learning so much fun. We are blessed to be part of this community.
