Zion (4)
Happy Holidays from the Bolado Family! Our year started with lots of snowy road trips
and snowboarding in Mammoth, Tahoe (Palisades) and Utah (Brianhead, Snowbird,
Solitude, Brighton). Zion started going up the lift with us this season, so we were so
excited that we could finally snowboard down the mountain together as a family--so
proud of her!
During the spring and early summer, we celebrated Zion's 4th birthday in Legoland,
learned how to ride a bike without training wheels, and graduated from preschool! Our
summers were filled with lots of camping trips, Disneyland, farm visits, road trips,
biking, surfing, and a trip to Bali for Rodney and Christa's Wedding!
Zion started TK at Leal Elementary School at the end of summer and we have been
loving all the activities and Theatre Arts Program opportunities that they offer. Zion
performed in their school's Diwali celebration, was Mowgli in their Jungle Book musical,
and had her first audition and was casted in her school's Peter Pan spring musical.
We started our fall with a fall foliage east coast trip and went leaf peeping throughout
Massachusetes, New Hampshire, and Maine. The rest of fall was filled with soccer (Go
Team Watermelons!), music concerts, Halloween costumes (our favorite time of year!),
and her recent new activity, Brazilian jiu jitsu at Conde Koma.
This winter we plan to head back to Banff in Canada to ring in the New Year and start
another season of snowboarding. It's been a fun, full year and so thankful that we get
to end the year celebrating Christmas with our Purex family!
