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!

CATIO 1.0

We built a catio! I helped Mommy drive around to pick up supplies. People around town gave us old wood they didn’t want anymore, outdoor carpet, and hinges. I was the designer and Mommy was the builder. Finley and Sunnie love it!

ADRENALINE PEAK

I went to Oaks again! As you can see, I am officially 48″ tall, which means I can go on a lot more rides.

And guess what??? I went on Adrenaline Peak! I was super scared, but super brave. It was my first inverting coaster (three inversions, actually!) and past vertical drop.

This is me on Adrenaline Peak! Who wants to go with me next time?

Another new one I can ride has become my very favorite: Disk-O! I went on it 3 times.

I also went on Rock and Roll…

…and an oldie but goodie, Chipper’s Choppers. Plus a bunch of others. It was an awesome day! I can’t wait to go again!

POWER OUTAGE 2021

Because of the ice storm that hit West Linn, we were out of power for 5 days!

We did stuff like eat cheese quesadillas in the dark…

…And play with water and syringes in the sink.

I hung out with Fluffy, who just happens to glow different colors.

We also had to go buy stuff sometimes. We parked our car across the street and found all sorts of obstacles getting there.

One of the things we bought was an inverter to hook up to our car battery. I waited patiently in this cardboard box while Mommy and Daddy hooked it up.

After the inverter was hooked up, we had enough electricity to charge our computer!

We didn’t have internet, but I found this awesome dinosaur game that showed up on any Chrome page without internet.

On what turned out to be our last night without power, we drove to Oregon City and ate delicious hot pizza in our warm car.
