While driving on I-205 last week, I noticed a walking bridge out in the distance. As soon as I got home, I had to find it on Google Maps and then find a time to go hunt it down. Today was the day!

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo to see their annual Christmas light extravaganza, ZooLights.
But first…had to check out this awesome bridge! (I love bridges.)




Then it was time to hit the carousel, one of my favorites.

It finally got dark enough for the lights to turn on…




Then on to my other favorite – the zoo train!


Added bonus: Supermoon!

I have suddenly become an outdoorsman. Here are some moments from my recent 2 1/2 hour walk around the neighborhood.




We had a break in the rain today, so we went out to the path behind our house for a little walk. I’ve become quite the outdoorsman!







I was so upset about picture day at school, Mommy had to come pick me up early. But we forgot my coat and had to go back to school to fetch it. By then, I had chilled out and let the photographer take pictures of me while I played on the climbing structure.
So here it is! My official preschool picture:




Happy Halloween! I started off my day with a costume parade at school.

Then it was time to decorate the pumpkin I picked out at Lee Farms.


I helped sing a Halloween song during Circle Time.

And then I decorated my Halloween cookie.


After school, I counted down the hours until evening and trick-or-treating time.



Mom and I came to an agreement that I would be cooperative for one picture (and even wear my popcorn hat), but that she had to leave the camera at home for the rest of the night.

Arghh, I forgot Daddy had his phone camera with him!



When trick-or-treating was done, I immediately got to work on drawing my own custom candy wrappers. And I gave Mommy my candy rejects. (Tootsie Rolls and gum…I’m looking at you!)

Here are some Halloween drawings I made earlier. Happy Halloween!

Today we left Seattle to come back home, but enjoyed a little morning time with Kenji.

Kenji is my favorite cousin, so I gave him a little kiss.


Kenji really liked his birthday balloons!


Bye, Kenji. See you again soon!

Tuesday was Kenji’s first birthday, but we celebrated at his house today.




I taught him how to draw airplanes.

He really wanted to get into those cabinets!

I think he liked his cake! Happy 1st birthday, Kenji!


Papa gave me a drone for my fourth birthday, which I managed to break pretty quickly. So we got a remote control airplane and I was piloting like a champion!



But as the storm clouds rolled in, I pushed my plane further and further. After one too many crashes in the blackberry bushes, my trusty friend could fly no more. RIP, Twin Explorer. May you fly with the drone in heaven.
