This week, I decided to skip Music At The Park and listened from home instead.
I also watered Mommy’s crazy pumpkin plant. I just went ahead and watered the whole vine – why not?
MY NEW ICE CREAM BOWL
So here it is: the finished bowl I made at Color Me Mine!
I also decided I needed to work on a new piece. Here I am adding some cool color to my rocket ship bank.
MASTERPIECES: COATS IN SPACE EDITION
A little while ago, I was really into drawing striped coats.
Now I’m into drawing them in outer space.
MUSIC IN THE PARK 2
Thursday night means Music in the Park and I wanted to go again!
You’ll probably find me in the bouncy castle for the next three weeks…
I discovered these things called hula hoops. They’re very mysterious.
I took a little break to do some chalk drawing…
…but then it was back to hula hoops for the rest of the night.
MARSHALL PARK
I visited a new placed called Marshall Park in Portland and it was really cool. I liked wading in Tryon Creek and especially liked the bridge and tunnel that was built over it!
And the park also had a pretty cool swing…
COLOR ME MINE
Mommy and I drove up to a Portland suburb called Hillsboro to paint pottery at a place called Color Me Mine. I had so much fun! I was definitely the giddiest, happiest, loudest person there. They will fire up my future ice cream bowl in a kiln and I can pick up the finished product in about a week. (As I already warned Mommy, I will also be painting another piece of pottery.)
I had such a good time, I didn’t want to go home right away. So I sat on this wall for a while.
And then put my hand in this fountain. It was 95 degrees out!
MUSIC IN THE PARK
For the last two summers, the Music In The Park concert series that happens behind our house has been a source of anxiety, as I was not a music fan.
But when this year’s concert series started last week, I actually kind of liked it. And much to Mommy and Daddy’s surprise, I asked to go this week. So I watched the cars drive onto the field and got prepped for my first music concert.
And the first thing I saw…a bouncy castle!
And then I got a balloon. A highlight of the night!
Then we sat down for some pizza and the tunes of the Bobby Torres Ensemble.
Even Chubs had a good time!
After we got home, I could still hear the bongos as I played with my balloon on the deck.
OREGON ZOO TRAIN
I think most kids go to the zoo to see the animals. But I go strictly to ride the zoo train. We rode it over and over until it closed. Then we went home.
I just love it when Mommy asks me to pose for pictures. Can’t you tell?
NIHONGO
I started taking Japanese classes on Duolingo. I tried Dutch, too, but didn’t like it as much. I’m on the wait list for Hawaiian.
JOURNEY TO ESTACADA
Today I visited the home of one of Mommy’s friends in Estacada, OR. She has four kids, but I hung out with the younger two – Indy and Phoenix. They showed me their rabbit, Small. (Their older sister, Kate, built his hutch.)
I gave him some blueberries and he ate them! (He loves rose petals, too.)
I also swam in their pool! (I had more fun than I look here.)
And I looked at the awesome map they have in their outdoor hangout area! (It’s not current, but it had Hawaii, so that’s all that matters.)
