HIKING WITH PHOENIX

We went on a hike with the family of one of Mommy’s friends. And that included their son, Phoenix. He’s a few years older than me. He looooves hiking. And I love looking for bugs. And we found some, including this really cool centipede pictured below.

MARY S. YOUNG BUG HUNT

I went on a bug and creature hunt with Aliah and Cayah at Mary S. Young Park. We always see a lot there. This time, I had ants crawling all over me (which I love!) and we found a newt, a bunch of huge millipedes, cool looking snails, and a lot more. I brought my book of Pacific Northwest bugs to identify them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANA!

It was Nana’s birthday, and the Taylor gang came down for the occasion! Yay!

We made letters to create a cool “Happy Birthday” sign.

And we made birthday cupcakes.

And then Nana arrived and we celebrated her latest trip around the sun! Happy birthday, Nana!

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.
