We had some girls hanging out at the skatepark with us too, no big deal.

Third morning in California at Mark and Sara’s house feeling real cozy.

We even continued to feel cozy even as Mark and Sara were hard at work around us getting ready for a photo shoot.

Later, after lunch we met up with Joe, Brook, and Donovan!

On Friday a storm, that someone named “Nemo”, came through New York shutting the city down, canceling my annual trip to Colorado, and sending everyone to their local parks looking to play.
