A night on the town with Auntie Bev and Steve in San Jose

Fountains of fun

As soon as he saw the college kids swimming in a fountain on our way home, Malcolm was ready to jump in himself.

Not exactly fine cuisine, but we're hungry

Little friends at Tenaya Lake

Malcolm is doing the "Brrrrrrr, it's cold" walk here. He eventually got in over his belly button and loved it.

Third summer in the Sierra

Malcolm has always been very sentimental, and the life cycle of a forest was a weighty lesson. When he saw old fallen trees in Yosemite, he'd point, tilt his head to the side, and whimper to say how sad he was for the poor tree that fell down.

Beads

Malcolm loves sorting his little bead collection.

We're off for some hiking and camping. To keep you company while I'm gone, Mom posted a little clip of me playing with a new "toy" from Oma & Opa.

Hint: Just like last time, it was all his idea.
