GREAT WOLF LODGE

Kenji and I went to the Great Wolf Lodge, a water park and all-around fun kid place in Washington!

For a while, we couldn’t stop pretending we were wolves.

We went to the arcade and Kenji won tons of tickets on one of the games.

I found the beds to be really comfy.

And while we waited for our pizza dinner, Kenji and I discovered this ancient relic called a telephone.

Here’s a video of even more stuff we did! It was super fun!

SCHOOL PLAYGROUND ON A SUNNY DAY

Between winter break and all of the rain we’ve had, it’s been forever since I’ve been able to go down my favorite thing at recess – the green slide.

So once I saw it was sunny on a Saturday, we all had to go to my school playground. And while I was at it, I played on everything else, too.

MY 9TH BIRTHDAY

I’m 9 years old! Here’s my birthday morning stash.

I love the Roblox game, Build a Boat for Treasure. Nana and Papa got me a gift card to buy Robux, the game platform’s virtual currency. Here is me trying to calculate how many Robux I can buy…

…and how much gold that Robux will get me…

…and me realizing, that’s a lotta gold!

And then I immediately went to my computer to buy new pieces for my boat. Happy birthday to me!

COASTER STUDIOS & OTHER YOUTUBERS

An early birthday present was a Zoom conversation with Taylor Bybee! He’s the person behind Coaster Studios, one of my favorite YouTube channels. I talked to him for about 45 minutes, asked him questions, and told him some of the coasters I’ve been on. He’s really cool!

I also got a video message from Chris at Airtime Thrills!

And from Peter at Theme Park Crazy!

FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON

It snowed! The day after Christmas!

I went sledding at our new local park, Midhill Park. It’s across the street and up a little path.

Sunnie liked to stay cozy and look at the snow through the window.

We didn’t know if Finley would still want to go on his walk, but he loved it. Can you find him?
