Winter is Here!
Winter in Squaw Valley is amazing. My dad runs the events at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows and in the winter our neighborhood is so much fun. From family visiting for Thanksgiving to Holiday celebrations, annual Ski with Jonny Moseley, Santa True, annual New Years Party and the World Record Glow Stick Parade. I also […]
Summer in France
For my entire life, I have spent the first half of the summer with my great-grandmother in France. She’s 96 years old and still lives on her own. We stay at her small apartment at the Mediterranean and my little brother, Alex, and I spend our days at the beach and sailing. This summer my […]
Trip Report: San Marcos and OKC
I flew to Dallas and met up with Mark Taylor from Waterweks Kayak Club – a youth kayak club in Alberta. He was taking a group of teen boys on an epic road trip to find warm water in Texas. I think they drove for 36 hours, of which I joined them for 15 or so. Sounds […]
The Futaleufu was amazing
I just got back from the Futaleufu. We went there to visit friends who own Bio Bio Expeditions. Wow, their camp is amazing. Their trips aren’t intended to be kid trips, but since the owners have kids and the neighbors have kids, there was a group of us hanging out in camp. We played cards and […]
2018: A Kayaking Retrospective
Much of 2018 for me was about kayaking. I of course skied, and did school work, and hung out with friends, and played with my dog, and spent time in France – as I always do. But mostly, I kayaked. I love everything about kayaking. I love whitewater. I love nature. I love meeting new […]
World Record Skiing Glow Stick Parade!
New Years is always great in our neighborhood. My dad puts on a skiing glow stick parade at Squaw on New Years Eve and our neighbors host a New Years Day hang out party. This Year we set a new world record for skiing glow stick parade. We had almost 3,000 skiers! Skiing in the […]
Learning to Surf in Mexico
My parents were apprehensive about letting me go with Dana to his house in Mexico for a surf trip. Why? Because it’s Insana Dana. But he has kids now too and, in any event, his wife Sarah would be there. My trip to Mexico was incredible. Their house is off the grid and very rustic, […]
Fall at School
Fall was fun at Creekside Charter School this year . . . I love art projects. Here is a plant cell model I made out of soap and clay for a school project. And a mandala I doodled while in class (last year my principal suggested I start doodling, instead of talking, in class!). Plant Cell […]
Keeners is so fun
This summer, once I turned 12, I was finally old enough to go to Keeners. I’ve been wanting to go forever. Everything about Keeners is awesome – the river, the kids, the coaches. Here are a few photos and blog posts. Blog Post about the GatineauBlog Post about Swift Water RescueBlog Post about Ultimate Frisbee
O Canada!
Montreal and Ottawa are such great cities to visit. My mom grew up in Montreal, but unfortunately she wasn’t able to come with us. So, she created the perfect itinerary instead. We of course visited her childhood home, her school, where she and my grandpa went to college. But, we did some tourist stuff too. […]
