KIDSQUEST CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

I went up to Seattle to visit cousin Kenji and we went to KidsQuest Children’s Museum!

My favorite thing there was this huge climbing structure. This is the very bottom of it.

Daddy helped me climb the ropes up this big tube.

Kenji went up with Uncle Ryan and into this cage before heading to the very top.

This is the rope tube that leads to the top.

And here’s the top! It’s even higher than the second floor of the museum.

I also liked this sign that pointed to cities with funny names.

And this water room where I got to wear this awesome smock.

LEE FARMS III

For the third year in a row, I went to Lee Farms with my school for our fall field trip. You can check out my last two years here and here.

As a pumpkin patch veteran, I prepared myself for the tour.

It was a gloriously damp day and I had lots of fun jumping in puddles.

I learned that these greenish pumpkins are the best for making pumpkin pie.

Then, for some reason, we were all drawn to tap this big inflatable pumpkin.

In years past, the animals were my least favorite part of the tour. I’ve never been a fan of farms or zoos. But this year, I was actually kind of interested. There were baby cows…

…horses…

…and goats. This mama goat gave me the staredown.

And this little baby goat crawled down his ramp all the way home.

The chickens were stinky.

And finally, it was time to get down to the business of picking out a pumpkin.

Thanks, Lee Farms, for another fun day!

SKY’S THE LIMIT

The Autism Society of Oregon organized a cool event with Alaska Airlines so that me and a bunch of other kids could go on a real airplane and taxi around PDX!

I loved all of it, as usual – walking through the airport, going through security, standing on the moving walkways…

There was even a playground by our gate!

That red rectangle on my lanyard means, “don’t even think about taking my picture.” I wish that would work in real life.

747 spotting! Do you see it back there?

That’s our plane, a 737-800.

I impressed Noah, an Alaska Airlines pilot, with my airplane knowledge.

Then it was time to taxi!

It was a short “flight,” and then it was time to exit…

…but not without talking on the intercom first.

Afterwards, Daddy and I did silly walks on the moving walkway.

Another successful day at the airport!
