LEGOS @ THE LIBRARY – HILLSDALE BRANCH II

I’m completely obsessed with LEGOs again (obviously). I don’t like sets with instructions anymore, though. I just want to make whatever I want.

WINGS & WAVES WATERPARK

I spent the day at Wings & Waves Waterpark next to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

Do you see those water tubes on the side of that 747? I went in those! They slide all the way down to the bottom.

My favorite was Sonic Boom, the yellow slide. I didn’t go on Nose Dive, but I will next time. It’s a giant funnel!

I am a Sky Fighter!

I also rode the Oaks carousel for the first time!

FRUIT LOOP

It was our final day in the Columbia River Gorge, and we started off with a quick breakfast in downtown Hood River.

Then we headed off to the “Fruit Loop,” a section of Hood River filled with local produce and u-pick fruit and flowers.

Our first stop was The Gorge White House, where we picked lots of raspberries and blueberries, a few strawberries and blackberries, and a fruit I’d never heard of called pink lemonade blueberries.

Then we went to an antique shop called The Old Trunk. I was already so hot and tired, I just lounged in their outdoor picnic area.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of lavender, so we continued on to Hood River Lavender Farms.

I was almost ready to go home, but I wanted to go to one more lavender farm, Lavender Valley.

The lavender was swarming with bees, but I still love to smell it. Bees and I have good taste!

HOOD RIVER, OR

We crossed the Hood River Bridge to visit…Hood River!

I waded in the Columbia River at the Hood River Waterfront Park.

It was over 90 degrees, so we took breaks in our sun shade and laughed at something I can’t remember on Daddy’s phone.

After a day at the river beach, it was time to head back to our cabin. But I wanted to climb this cool dirt hill first!

I also mastered climbing the ladder that goes to the loft in our cabin!

STEVENSON, WA

About a month ago, I suddenly declared I wanted to go camping. There weren’t any campsites left in Oregon and we don’t have any camping equipment anyway.

So we rented a little cabin in Stevenson, WA instead. The trip got off to a great start when we got to cross the Columbia River on the Bridge of the Gods!
