HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANA!

It was Nana’s birthday, and the Taylor gang came down for the occasion! Yay!

We made letters to create a cool “Happy Birthday” sign.

And we made birthday cupcakes.

And then Nana arrived and we celebrated her latest trip around the sun! Happy birthday, Nana!

GOLFING WITH PAPA

Nana and Papa live by a golf course, which got me interested in trying golf. So Papa took me behind their house to practice swinging a golf club.

Then we went to a driving range where I could hit the ball even harder. Papa showed me how to hold the club and bend my knees, and told me to keep my eye on the ball.

Finally, we went to the putting green to practice tapping the ball into the hole. It was an interesting new experience, but I don’t think I’ll be trying to become a pro golfer any time soon. Thanks for the lesson, Papa!

WILD WAVES

Kenji and I went to Wild Waves Theme and Water Park! I was sooooo excited!!! The first ride I went on was The Wild Thing roller coaster. It had a vertical loop and two corkscrews. It was great, and also my first Arrow Corkscrew.

Then I went on Timberhawk: Ride of Prey, an S&S Sansei wooden coaster. It was so fun, I went on it 3 times. It’s my new favorite coaster!

Here’s Mommy and I riding in the front row before our first ride.

Here’s a video of my off-ride reaction!

After riding the 48″ and up rides, I found Kenji in the water park and he came with me to ride some more rides!

His first ride there was Kiddie Coaster, a Zamperla Tornado powered coaster, one of only four still operating in the world.

Then Kenji rode with Daddy on the ferris wheel.

We also went on what I believe is the worst carousel in the world.

But Frog Hopper was so fun!

So was Red Baron! I’m flying in the red bi-plane and Kenji is in the white one behind me.

That’s a wrap on Wild Waves. It’s my new favorite amusement park I’ve ever been to!
