It was raining and dark. But I wanted a Christmas tree. So we went to our regular place, Shannon’s U-Cut and, as usual, I picked the perfect tree! (I also checked out the prices – we got a 6 ft douglas fir.)
Because we’re also in the middle of Hanukkah, we saw this giant inflatable menorah on our drive home.
Once we set up the tree, I got right to decorating. Now for those presents to start rolling in…
Now that I live in the Cedaroak boundary, I get to take the school bus! I wasted no time and started the first day we lived there. This is me getting off at my stop for the first time!
And we have a nice little walk home, through the park and over two little bridges.
We continued our primary school playground tour, starting with my very own (and very favorite), Cedaroaks!
I showed Mommy and Daddy how I like to hang on the monkey bars and then drop down.
I also really love the swings.
But probably my very favorite is the play structure.
Then we went a little down the road to Bolton Primary. Those poor children don’t have a very good playground. But I still had a fun time. (And our last school, Stafford Primary, had their playground locked. Maybe we’ll try next weekend!)
I got this cool idea to visit all of the playgrounds at West Linn’s primary schools. So we visited three of them today and we’ll do the other three next weekend.
Today was my final visit to Oaks Park this year. They’re closing for the season soon, so I had to get on my favorite rides!
I love Zoom Coaster and got lots of rides on it. Before one of my rides, I just had to gaze at it lovingly from all angles.
Oaks has a mini museum display about its history. It’s been around since 1905!
I even got one of my new favorite treats – Shave Ice.
We closed out our day on the Scrambler! But we’ll be back next year, of course.
And what else will 2022 bring? I’m hoping to get to Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire, as well as Knott’s Berry Farm (or will it be Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, Six Flags Over Texas, Hershey Park, Discovery Kingdom…….???)
