Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Kenji! We visited Seattle to celebrate his big day. He specifically requested a rainbow cake.
He liked dipping his finger in the frosting.
Then it was time to blow out the candles.
SUCCESS!
One thing I gave him were my old Duplo blocks.
He liked them as much as I did.
Then the next morning, we went to brunch. Kenji loves to put Daddy’s hood on his head! Happy birthday, Kenji!
Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest, so I took them to one of my favorite places – Color Me Mine!
My first kindergarten field trip was to Lee Farms (where I had many preschool field trips before).
Our school bus was late in arriving, so we spent some time in the library first. Mommy was a chaperone and was in charge of me and Anna.
The first thing we all did when we got there was splash in puddles!
A man told us about a bunch of varieties of pumpkins.
And another man showed us how they made apple cider in the olden days.
We saw a bunch of animals, including chickens. As usual, this was my least favorite part. But Anna loved them all.
Then I picked out my pumpkin! We’re going to carve it before Halloween.
Mommy needed some food for our dinner, so we walked to Safeway. (I danced.)
The waiting is the hardest part…
We all went to St. Honoré in Lake Oswego. Daddy and I were having a great conversation until…
…he tried to eat my chocolate croissant!
The “Fun Run, Walk & Roll” is an annual Cedaroaks tradition. And I just finished my first one!
Thank you very much to my contributors!
Here’s my class waiting in line for our turn to start running.
Off we go!
We got some encouragement from Chipper the Squirrel…
…and Officers Halverson and Corbin.
Finally, the finish line! I did two laps!
I ended the event with a well-earned Otter Pop.
My kindergarten class had a baking session at the Pine Diner (a kitchen at my school).
We made apple pie pizzas and got to try them after. I liked the baking, but didn’t care for the taste. I didn’t say that out loud because some kids liked them and that would be yucking someone’s yum.
These were the instructions we were given before baking. We guessed what would be the easiest part and what would be the hardest. I guessed flattening the dough would be the hardest, but it was actually the easiest!
I went to Oliver and Annabel’s house to play. Oliver showed me some cool new commands in Minecraft.
Then we went to their garage/playroom and I did a lot of swinging while Annabel showed us her stuffed animals.
