Today was my final trip to Oaks Amusement Park before school starts. It was a cool, drizzly day, but I scrambled my brains out on The Scrambler!
I also sat in this Screamin’ Eagle practice seat, just waiting to become 48 inches tall.
Speaking of waiting to become 48 inches tall, I watched Adrenaline Peak go about 100 times before finally heading home.
We’re squeezing in a whole bunch of appointments before I start school next week. And one of them was a visit with my dietitian at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
They have a statue of a dog outside that I’m now tall enough to ride!
I don’t remember what I was doing here, but it was probably pretty great.
We rode the tram, of course!
And after my appointment, I was really hungry and got my favorite food from the cafeteria – falafel wrap!
Today, I found out that I will be in Mrs. Flagg’s kindergarten class! My first day is on Tuesday, Aug. 27th.
She sent me my first piece of homework, which I will give her on Thursday during the Kindergarten Open House.
Now that I’m feeling better, we went to Music in the Park for a picnic and some soul music from Ants in the Kitchen!
I just finished a program called “Jump Start” at school. It was a little preview of what is to come in a couple of weeks. Annabel was there! So was Miss Ann, one of my old preschool teachers!
This is the art I made. Let the school art begin!
I found this ramp on the sidewalk and just had to run down it over and over and over again.
Then I got my haircut and acquired a new balloon…and ran down the ramp some more.
I’ve been sick for the past week, so I haven’t gone on any adventures. But I did make drawings of monsters standing next to their homes. Here you go!
It’s turning out to be my summer of animals, as I actually asked to go to the Oregon Zoo.
This is the animal I specifically wanted to see – the Pacific Lamprey. It’s an eel-like fish that’s been around for over 450 million years. And it eats poop!
I also saw a giraffe…
…and a bear.
My favorite insect was the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.
But my very, very, very favorite animal at the zoo was the Domestic Cat! I went back to see him three times.
Isn’t Buddy cute??
The concert-behind-our-house season has begun!
We walked to Tanner Creek Park, I had my usual jumping session in the bouncy castle, and we ate dinner to the tunes of a Styx cover band!
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.
