Via Arte

Each year the marketplace does what's called Via Arte, and basically it is chalk art. It is fashioned off of the Italian Street Painting Festivals. There's a part that is set aside for professional artists and another part that is for amateur artists. Schools take part in the amateur side and so here's one of the pieces that Bakersfield Christian High School did. Neat!

No CGI used here, they actually dropped 250,000 super bouncy balls at the corner of Union street and Leavenworth Street in San Francisco! The song's name is "Heartbeats" by Jose Gonzalez. You can buy it on Itunes!!

Hume Lake

We just got back from a short trip to Hume Lake. The school Lisa teaches at goes there for a retreat each fall. We got to get out of Bako-land and go up to the mountains, which was awesome. The weather was beautiful, the scenery gorgeous...it was a lot of fun. And hanging out with the high schoolers was also fun, we got to know some of them on a different level outside of the classroom. Here are a few pictures from our trip!

Welcoming Jordan Jonathan Sadowsky!
