OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK III

Oh funny, did someone put Oaks Amusement Park into Mommy’s phone calendar? Oh yes, I think that was me.

LEGOS @ THE LIBRARY – SELLWOOD BRANCH II

I went to the Sellwood Library again for Legos @ The Library and made a Minecraft village!

ALPENROSE DAIRYVILLE

We went to a tiny fake town called Dairyville at a Portland dairy farm called Alpenrose.

There was this wild animal named Daddy who tried to bite me!

Also, I’m not sure if Santa lives here?

Despite my smiles, I actually thought this place was super not fun. But Daddy kept me happy by swinging me around, so I could pretend I was on a rollercoaster!

GARDEN ROUNDUP

The deck garden is coming along nicely!

From the left, we have:

Snap peas (one seed we got from the library grew into that big plant!)
African daisies I picked out at the nursery
Lavender (my favorite!)
Tomatoes (yuuuuuuckkkkk)
Mystery flower I planted for Mommy as a Mother’s Day gift
Pumpkins (we got those seeds in the Burgeville kids meal!)

SCHOOL PLAYGROUND EVENT

My new school principal, Mrs. Leonard, invited us to a popsicle night at the playground. I met two boys – Raleigh and Cameron – who will be going to kindergarten in the fall, too.

The playground is really big and kind of scary, but I was able to manage this climbing thing all by myself!

I also liked this tetherball pole.

After about an hour, though, I was ready to run home and go to bed!

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2019

After a fun drive on the streets of Portland, we celebrated America’s independence by walking to a quaint little coffee shop called Starbucks.

I brought LEGOs for everyone!

While Daddy was goofing around, I was getting serious building my string cheese and LEGO creation.

My favorite build was a Minecraft animal pen with pigs and horses.

Then we flew home in our imaginary airplanes!

CEDAROAKS PLAYGROUND

I visited the playground of my future school to see what it was all about.

They have a tetherball pole…

…a GaGa Ball pit…

…and a big ol’ play structure.

I was really interested in this tree because Minecraft got me into trees!

One thing I learned is that the fir cones make my hands very sticky!

Also, there were a million bees.

LEGOS @ THE LIBRARY – SELLWOOD BRANCH

It’s been a long time since I did LEGOs @ the Library in Portland, but I wanted to make my triumphant return! I have a few more planned this summer before school starts.
