PORTLAND SPIRIT

For Labor Day, we went on a boat!

But first, I was distracted by this cool bench made from a bathtub.

Then we went on a boat – the Portland Spirit!

First, we had lunch and I had to save my Smiley Potato from jumping off the bread.

But enough of lunch, it was time to get outside and see some bridges!

The Marquam!

Tilikum Crossing!

The USS Blueback parked in front of OMSI! (Not a bridge, but cool anyway!)

After some fun, though, it was time for me to get to the wheelhouse and captain the ship for a while.

Then it was time to say goodbye to the seas (actually, the Willamette River)…

…and head back to port.

SATURDAY OUTING

Before Labor Day, we headed to Lake Oswego for a new (to us) breakfast joint called Chuck’s.

As you can see, waiting is so fun.

Mommy asked me to smile for the camera, so I did…

Much more fun was walking along this narrow ledge. I am a self-proclaimed “dare devil.”

And even more fun was sliding down this mega slide at Sahallie Illahee Park in West Linn!

FINAL MUSIC IN THE PARK

As the summer comes to a close, so too does the weekly Music in the Park event. We came, we saw, we enjoyed the rocking tunes of Petty Fever.

I love getting balloons at outdoor festivals. It is the highlight of my summer.

GOODBYE, BROTHER CHUBS

We said goodbye to Chubs on Monday, August 27th. He was a gentle and patient brother.

He was a world class sunbather and I’m happy he got to enjoy the hot summer weather.

One of Chubs’ favorite things was taking a rest in the periwinkle in front of our house. He would lie down there, smelling the air, while I played with my ball.

Here are some pictures of Chubs and I through the years. He was the very best. We love you, Chubs.

THINGS I SAY #75

We are at one of those conveyer belt sushi restaurants. 

Me: I’m going to pretend we’re waiting for our luggage! I found my luggage!

I take a plate of California rolls and have a little taste.

Me: I’m going to find some new luggage that’s yummier, like grapes.
