KIDSQUEST CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

I went up to Seattle to visit cousin Kenji and we went to KidsQuest Children’s Museum!

My favorite thing there was this huge climbing structure. This is the very bottom of it.

Daddy helped me climb the ropes up this big tube.

Kenji went up with Uncle Ryan and into this cage before heading to the very top.

This is the rope tube that leads to the top.

And here’s the top! It’s even higher than the second floor of the museum.

I also liked this sign that pointed to cities with funny names.

And this water room where I got to wear this awesome smock.

AYAKA’S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Ayaka, a girl from my school, had a birthday party and I went!

I even ate a little bit of a strawberry.

And played with her and Addison at the playground.

And I just really like this slide!

BOX MONSTER

COLOR ME MINE ADDICT

Guess who was excited to paint some more pottery!

BIG BITE

SATURDAY OUTING

Before Labor Day, we headed to Lake Oswego for a new (to us) breakfast joint called Chuck’s.

As you can see, waiting is so fun.

Mommy asked me to smile for the camera, so I did…

Much more fun was walking along this narrow ledge. I am a self-proclaimed “dare devil.”

And even more fun was sliding down this mega slide at Sahallie Illahee Park in West Linn!

THE OREGON TRAIL

This is a pretty cool, weird game. I like it mostly for the map and getting to name the travelers.

MUSIC IN THE PARK 2

Thursday night means Music in the Park and I wanted to go again!

You’ll probably find me in the bouncy castle for the next three weeks…

I discovered these things called hula hoops. They’re very mysterious.

I took a little break to do some chalk drawing…

…but then it was back to hula hoops for the rest of the night.

MARSHALL PARK

I visited a new placed called Marshall Park in Portland and it was really cool. I liked wading in Tryon Creek and especially liked the bridge and tunnel that was built over it!

And the park also had a pretty cool swing…

EASTSIDERS

Nana and Papa made a visit our way and we took them across the Willamette River to the east side of Portland. Our first stop was a restaurant called the Tin Shed, where we had to wait a long time, even though it was a Thursday.

Then we went to the playground at Laurelhurst Park.

Before heading home, we stopped to see the ducks at the Laurelhurst Duck Pond.

By the end of the day, Chubs was ready for a nap!
