Pick a college, any college

Don't like the Claremont College you're at? Pick a direction and transfer.

California Dreamin'

On a trip to Southern California, I tried to sum up the experience with pictures of palm trees, mountains...

I think this storefront captures it perfectly. We don't have these in Minnesota. I wonder if it's a drive-through?

Just wacky

It's a Michael Jordan quote taped up next to a dangling mannequin figure. Weird street moment in Minneapolis.

Birthday girl

I bought one of those helium balloon kits for the party. Balloons-on-demand is a huge hit with the 3-year-old set.

Cake

Rachel makes and decorates the birthday cake. Look at all the flowers and leaves she made by hand.

LEGO

Daddy and Ellen both love going to the Lego Store.

New shades

Ellen is pleased to have new sunglasses.
