Kenji and Sakura were supposed to leave today, but it snowed and got really icy. So we got to keep them for an extra day!






As is our annual tradition, we cut down our tree at the Shannon U-Cut Tree Farm.
First, I pick out the perfect tree.
Then, Daddy does the actual cutting.
He also gets to carry it to the car.
Finally, I put the money in the box. Done!
In science this year, we raised salmon from little eggs to alevins to fry. Then it was time to release them into the Willamette River. All of us 3rd graders walked down to the boat dock to let our fry swim free.
I named my fry Salish. I sure hope she makes it to the Pacific Ocean!
This is my 3rd grade class! My teacher, Mr. Jones, is taking the picture.
And here are allll of the 3rd graders!
We spent Thanksgiving with the Taylor gang! A really fun thing we did was make gingerbread houses.
Of course, Kenji and I did a lot of gaming.
And we also just had loads of other kinds of fun because we love having fun!
Finally, enjoy a video of us having the best time ever on a deflating air mattress!
River Canyon Run is my favorite water slide at the Great Wolf Lodge. You sit on a raft with up to four other people and go whooshing down a big slide before landing in a pool. I was really afraid the first time I rode it, but grew to love it. I especially love riding it with Kenji!
