NANA & PAPA’S HOUSE
While the Taylor gang was here, we visited Nana and Papa at their house!
Papa took Kenji and I to the driving range and putting green.
Then Kenji went on a walk with Mommy and climbed trees. He is a true dare devil!
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!
GRAMPS & GRAMPS VISIT
Grandma and Grandpa visited Portland, so, of course, we went to St. Honoré! As new Oregon residents, Nana and Papa came, too.
The next day, we showed Grandma and Grandpa the Bob’s Red Mill store and I found Bob.
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!
HAPPY EASTER! 2022
Hey! Did I tell you that Nana and Papa moved here?? Well, they did! And Kenji and I visited their new house for a fun Easter egg hunt!
PAPA & DEXY WALK
It’s tradition that Papa and I take a walk whenever he and Nana visit.
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!
SAKURA’S 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY
We all went up to Seattle to celebrate Sakura’s first birthday! Isn’t she so cute?
She likes to make this funny face a lot.
Papa bought Kenji and I cool matching t-shirts.
Time for cake!
She blew out her candle with a little bit of help.
Happy birthday, Sakura!
NANA & PAPA 2021
Nana and Papa are here! It’s been almost exactly one year since I saw them last.
