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.

COVID-19 VACCINE – DOSE 1

A few days ago, Mommy got a message from OHSU that said, because I was autistic and “medically fragile,” they were in Phase 1A for the Covid vaccine and to sign up for a big vaccine party at the airport.

So we drove up there and found lots of other people there, too.

We brought lots of snacks and I entertained myself by taking selfie videos.

After two and half hours, we could see the tent where Mommy and Daddy were getting their vaccine. I was just happy I wasn’t getting a poke!

Daddy got his first.

Then Mommy.

Then we waited for 15 minutes before they set us free.

They got cool Band-Aids, but I still don’t want one!
