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!

GOODBYE, TRUSTY FRIEND

Today we said goodbye to the car I’ve spent most of my life riding in, affectionately known as “the gray car.” Thank you for safely getting me to where I needed to go.

OAKS OPENING DAY! 2021

Today was opening day at Oaks Amusement Park! I’ve been waiting for this day since the last time I was there on closing day in 2019. I was so excited!

A SPRING WALK

It was a lovely spring day, so we went for a walk!

There was still evidence of February’s ice storm on the trails.

Daddy and I tried to karate chop this tree out of the way.

THE LIBRARY IS OPEN! (KINDA)

The library has been closed for the last year, except for curbside pickups. I get a lot of library books for school, so it was a big surprise when they began opening this week. We now have to reserve books online and pick them up once the librarians put them on this shelf.

CANBY FERRY

I’ve been wanting to ride a ferry for a while. Luckily, I found one really close, called the Canby Ferry. We drove to it on a sunny day. It holds four entire cars and takes a full two minutes to cross the Willamette River!

I’m riding on it right now!

MILO PLAYDATE

Milo was in my kindergarten class and is also in my online 1st grade class. Exactly one year and one day after I last saw him, I went to his backyard to play! His brother, Max, is really fun, too.

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.

ICEPOCALYPSE

The forecast said to expect snow, but instead, we had little bits of ice falling from the sky. After a while, ice covered everything!

I went outside and slipped and slid all over the place. I couldn’t make any snowmen, but I did do some ice sledding!

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.
