We all went up to Seattle to celebrate Sakura’s first birthday! Isn’t she so cute?
She likes to make this funny face a lot.
Papa bought Kenji and I cool matching t-shirts.
Time for cake!
She blew out her candle with a little bit of help.
Happy birthday, Sakura!
In honor of Father’s Day the next day, we went to St. Honoré for dinner. We brought LEGOs to play with and I ordered my usual: a chocolate croissant.
I went to Oaks for the 3rd time this season! I rode Adrenaline Peak again!
I also did a game for the first time. I didn’t get any rings on the bottles. Back to rides!
I’m not quite ready for this one!
I got it in my mind that I really wanted to put my feet in the river. So we drove to Clackamette Park on a chilly spring day and I got my wish!
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
