Went to the ol’ airport again, just for fun, to go watch planes.
We saw a buuuuunch of them. But some of the highlights:
Today was the eclipse! From our deck in West Linn, Oregon, we had 99.2% obscuration. Not bad!
We also watched the eclipse watchers down at the park behind our house. This was at totality, which means the sun is super strong! Even with 99.2% obscuration, it didn’t get that dark.
We went to the Oregon City library to pick up eclipse glasses. And while we were there, I went on the big kid swings – for the first time! I also played in the splash pad, even though my swim suit was at home from all the swimming I’ve been doing lately.
I am reminiscing about when I did some exercises with Daddy earlier in the day.
Me: When I do exercises, it helps my sciatica.
The pool I’ve been frequenting is in this ‘hood.
This picture was taken after going to the pool for 2 hours, a lunch out, Legos @ The Library, and snack in the car while playing iPhone games – and before I ran up our street pretending to be an airplane in flight and (while Mommy was trying to cook dinner) exclaiming, “Mommy, play with me!”
I wanted to make an Airbus A380 out of LEGO. It’s the biggest LEGO plane I’ve ever made!
Yesterday, I went up to Portland to play with Eliwen at the Mt. Scott Community Center. We also played with her friend, Yui, and a mystery girl who hung out with us. We played with a huge tennis ball and made crafts. Any guess what I made?
Mommy is looking at her calendar.
Mommy: Yay, we have no plans for this weekend.
Me: No, our sour cream expires on Sunday!
Because my four days a week of LEGO building get-togethers aren’t enough, I went to “LEGO Build-A-Thon” at the Oregon City Public Library, hosted by LEGO Master Builder, Blair Archer.
Eliwen came, too!
