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!
On the afternoon of Election Day, I was glued to the computer looking at the Electoral College map. It was less an interest in politics, and more an interest in anything involving maps! I made a special announcement every time Biden or Trump won another state.
And then the whole next day…I basically just stared at the map some more.
On September 13th, we went to Beaverton to pick up our newest kitten, Sunnie!
I didn’t have any pictures of her earlier because she was very scared and always hid under the bed. But now she’s ready to look around a little! Isn’t she so cute?
I went on my first camping trip! We headed west to Powder Creek Ranch in the Shiloh Valley. I loved the creek immediately and spent most of the afternoon there.
Next thing you know, it was time to start a fire. I collected kindling around the campsite and Daddy got the fire going.
Then I spotted a deer who came for a snack from the nearby apple tree!
On our first night, we had chicken sausages for dinner, cooked on our propane stove.
Once it got dark, it was time for bed. But then we woke up to this beautiful view of our creek.
We went for a walk around the ranch to look for farm animals – and we found them!
When we got back, it was time for an oatmeal breakfast. A bunch of moths were sleeping on our picnic table. I gently poked one and it fluttered away.
I loved this hill and rolled down it on my skateboard, dubbing it “The Campsite Coaster.”
Then it was time to wade in the creek again. My goal was to walk all the way to the Nestucca River, but the rocks were too slippery to make it. Also, the water was cooooooold!
For lunch, we had ramen cups. They were good!
And then it was time to make a fire again. We had a lot of firewood, so we got it started early.
For our second night, we made pie iron pizzas on the fire.
And s’mores, of course!
It was super fun and I’m already thinking about where I want to go camping next summer!
My brand new baby cousin was born on July 2nd. Nana and Papa are up in Seattle visiting her right now. Isn’t she so cute? I can’t wait to meet you, Sakura!
