Nana and Papa made a visit our way and we took them across the Willamette River to the east side of Portland. Our first stop was a restaurant called the Tin Shed, where we had to wait a long time, even though it was a Thursday.
Then we went to the playground at Laurelhurst Park.
Before heading home, we stopped to see the ducks at the Laurelhurst Duck Pond.
By the end of the day, Chubs was ready for a nap!
I haven’t been drawing many monsters lately. Just an assortment of different stuff.
Here is an airplane flying through a rain storm:
This is an airplane parked at the gate with a jetway connected to it from the terminal:
Hugs going down slides at her favorite slide park in Mommies:
Poop Mom, because…why not?
A rescue helicopter with its ladder down, ready to rescue someone:
Hugs watching a rocket launch:
A map of some streets in Mommies:
Some kanji symbols from the Mommies language:
And one more monster:
It’s the morning and we’re about to have breakfast.
Daddy: Dex, do you know where the coffee scooper is? I couldn’t find it last night.
Me: Yeah, I put it in the freezer.
A little bit later…
Daddy: Sharon, I can’t find Chubs’ medicine.
Me: That’s because I put it in the spice drawer!
Mommy and Daddy’s birthdays are both in June, so we all went out for a little birthday adventure.
First, we headed to BG’s Food Cartel for some lunch.
Then we went to the Portland neighborhood, St. John’s. I’ve been wanting to cross the St. John’s Bridge for a long time!
Then it was off to Cathedral Park for some bridge gazing and drawing.
Chubs had a nice time, too. His favorite thing to do is sleep in the grass when it’s warm out.
Laying down on the sidewalk in my pajamas is basically my definition of a perfect day.
My morning tradition these days is to wake up super early, gaze out the window for a while, then flip through a book before heading downstairs.
The joy of learning how to make the computer do stuff.
Mommy and I went to Elk Rock Island in Milwaukie, Oregon with a group of other kids. But while the other kids wanted to hike around the rocks, this river boy needed to put his feet in the water.
I brought my LEGO seaplane with me to see if it could really float.
It could!
Before we left, we said goodbye to this Mommy and baby duck who were hanging out with us.
For Father’s Day, we headed to the Willamette River! Dad and I enjoyed wading in the water and looking at the boats, paddle boards, and fun inflatables (unicorns are very popular this year!).
Chubs enjoyed himself, too.
Then it was off to Baskin-Robbins for some ice cream. None of that Salt & Straw nonsense for MY dad!
This is what I’ve been asking Alexa lately. She knows everything!
