THANKSGIVING DAY ROARING FIRE
Category Archives: Holidays
MONTSHIRE MUSEUM
I spent the afternoon at the Montshire Museum of Science, where I’ve been once before. But this time, I did all new things.
I got to make a bubble wall…
…and a bubble dome.
I watched air bubbles float up through liquids of different viscosity.
And slid pennies down this huge funnel.
I got to put my hand through fog…
…and put balls through this maze of air tunnels!
SNOW DAYS ARE LAZY DAYS
It was snowy and icy outside, which was my excuse for the perfect day of lounging around.
Grandma and I had a “draw off,” which will become our new evening tradition while I’m here.
KING ARTHUR FLOUR
A place I requested we go to was King Arthur Flour in Vermont. It’s tradition!
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but they were already set up for Christmas.
SNOWMEN AND SLEDDING
On our first full day in New Hampshire, it snowed!
It was cold and slushy and I managed to stay outside for about ten minutes, but I packed a lot in. Like making tiny snowmen with Grandpa.
And sledding down Winter Hill Road. I wonder why they call it Winter Hill. Hmmmmm…
IN THE AIR AGAIN
It had been longer than usual since I’d been on on airplane, so it was time to hit the air again!
This time, I took my very first red eye to visit Grandma and Grandpa in New Hampshire. I get very excited when I see the list of departures.
Then we waited for the TSA escort that helps us get all my liquids through.
I did a lot of the usual…hanging out on the people mover…
…going to the play area…
…trying to avoid Mommy when she asked me to pose by this statue.
We took off at 10:45pm and it didn’t take me too long to fall asleep.
But I did wake up in time to take this picture as we approached Boston Logan International Airport.
I wasn’t done sleeping, though. I got in a few more winks on the bus ride to New Hampshire. My first red eye flight was a success!
HALLOWEEN 2019
For Halloween this year, I dressed up as my classmate, Maddie! I made my costume myself, sticking flowers to my clothes and creating a “blankie dress” (Mommy helped with the safety pins.)
First, I went trick-or-treating at my neighbor, Suzi’s, house.
This house was so scary, I ended up not even ringing the doorbell. I just got outta there!
This one was much better.
Once again, my pumpkin bucket was so full, I could hardly carry it by the end. Another successful candy grab!
KENJI’S 3rd BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Kenji! We visited Seattle to celebrate his big day. He specifically requested a rainbow cake.
He liked dipping his finger in the frosting.
Then it was time to blow out the candles.
SUCCESS!
One thing I gave him were my old Duplo blocks.
He liked them as much as I did.
Then the next morning, we went to brunch. Kenji loves to put Daddy’s hood on his head! Happy birthday, Kenji!
PUMPKIN CARVING
We carved the pumpkins I got at the pumpkin patch! I sketched out their faces on paper so Mommy would know how to carve them.
FRUIT LOOP
It was our final day in the Columbia River Gorge, and we started off with a quick breakfast in downtown Hood River.
Then we headed off to the “Fruit Loop,” a section of Hood River filled with local produce and u-pick fruit and flowers.
Our first stop was The Gorge White House, where we picked lots of raspberries and blueberries, a few strawberries and blackberries, and a fruit I’d never heard of called pink lemonade blueberries.
Then we went to an antique shop called The Old Trunk. I was already so hot and tired, I just lounged in their outdoor picnic area.
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of lavender, so we continued on to Hood River Lavender Farms.
I was almost ready to go home, but I wanted to go to one more lavender farm, Lavender Valley.
The lavender was swarming with bees, but I still love to smell it. Bees and I have good taste!
