10th BIRTHDAY AT THE GREAT WOLF LODGE

Kenji and I celebrated my 10th birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge!!!

There was so much to do there. First, we hit the arcade.

Then we went into the Moonstone Mine and discovered gemstones with a sluice.

Then we went to the waterpark, OF COURSE.

And there were so many other things! A dance party, arts and crafts, gigantic desserts, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and a magical scavenger hunt called MagiQuest.

It was so freaking fun! I can’t wait to do it again.

CAYAH’S 18th BIRTHDAY

Cayah’s birthday wish was to go up to Mt. Hood and hike to Trillium Lake. So we did! I’d never done anything like that and it was both super fun and tiring. We did a lot of sledding, ate snacks on the trail, and made it back to the car in the dark. What an adventure!

KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 4

It was another amazing day with Kenji and Sakura! We woke up early and hit the ground running.

A little Sakura trivia: she loves the harmonica.

We went to Nana and Papa’s house for an early Christmas celebration.

Then we went home and lit the candles for the fourth night of Hanukkah.
