It’s Christmas, and here I am patiently waiting and smiling.
Now let the present opening begin!
Among many awesome things I got, like games, clothes, books, and fake poop…I also got this rocking chair that should keep me pretty busy.
Weeeee! Thank you, everyone!
Oh, and here is Finley just relaxing…
…And Sunnie curious about Finley’s Christmas present.
We’re on a road trip to Idaho! But first, we have to get through eastern Washington. We found a rest stop with cows.
And, best of all, I found a tiny town called Finley! Of course, we had to stop and check it out.
Also, Snapchat filters come in really handy when you’re on a long drive!
I like to take Mommy’s phone and make videos of myself.
Kenji and I went to Wild Waves Theme and Water Park! I was sooooo excited!!! The first ride I went on was The Wild Thing roller coaster. It had a vertical loop and two corkscrews. It was great, and also my first Arrow Corkscrew.
Then I went on Timberhawk: Ride of Prey, an S&S Sansei wooden coaster. It was so fun, I went on it 3 times. It’s my new favorite coaster!
Here’s Mommy and I riding in the front row before our first ride.
Here’s a video of my off-ride reaction!
After riding the 48″ and up rides, I found Kenji in the water park and he came with me to ride some more rides!
His first ride there was Kiddie Coaster, a Zamperla Tornado powered coaster, one of only four still operating in the world.
Then Kenji rode with Daddy on the ferris wheel.
We also went on what I believe is the worst carousel in the world.
But Frog Hopper was so fun!
So was Red Baron! I’m flying in the red bi-plane and Kenji is in the white one behind me.
That’s a wrap on Wild Waves. It’s my new favorite amusement park I’ve ever been to!
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 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!
A few days ago, Mommy got a message from OHSU that said, because I was autistic and “medically fragile,” they were in Phase 1A for the Covid vaccine and to sign up for a big vaccine party at the airport.
So we drove up there and found lots of other people there, too.
We brought lots of snacks and I entertained myself by taking selfie videos.
After two and half hours, we could see the tent where Mommy and Daddy were getting their vaccine. I was just happy I wasn’t getting a poke!
Daddy got his first.
Then Mommy.
Then we waited for 15 minutes before they set us free.
They got cool Band-Aids, but I still don’t want one!
Grandma and Grandpa got me a rocket for Hanukkah. Today, we launched it!
On Christmas morning, I woke up and immediately went to admire all of my gifts!
Sunnie was also in the holiday spirit, hanging out in her Christmas RV.
After we opened all of our presents, Finley took a nap on his high shelf.
Leading up to Christmas, I opened up a small gift in my Advent house every day of December. Some of the gifts I got were these little Lego cats!
Here is a video of my Christmas day! Thank you for the gifts, Nana and Papa, Aunt Lisa & Uncle Ryan, Uncle Mike & Aunt Sarah, Mommy and Daddy, and Santa!
