AFTER PARTY

Today we left Seattle to come back home, but enjoyed a little morning time with Kenji.

Kenji is my favorite cousin, so I gave him a little kiss.

Kenji really liked his birthday balloons!

Bye, Kenji. See you again soon!

NANA AND PAPA COME BACK

Nana and Papa went up to Seattle to visit Kenji for his 1st birthday. Then they came back to see me for a couple of days…just in time for us all to go back up to Seattle for Kenji’s birthday party tomorrow!

So today, we had a chill day hanging out at home drawing, enjoying the sunny weather, telling tales of Mommies and Jokey, and doing jigsaw puzzles on Papa’s computer.

NANA AND PAPA ARRIVE

Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest for Kenji’s 1st birthday. But before heading up to see him today (happy birthday, Kenji!), they stopped by to visit me!

I was really excited to hug Nana. I think everyone was pretty surprised by what a hugger I’ve become.

Then we sat down to take a look at my maps. We looked at the places that all of the Hardy’s and Ludwig’s were born in. And I regaled them with my story of Mr. Pillow Head’s adventure from Oregon to Georgia.

LEGO AIRPORT

Here is an airport and airplanes I built for a fictional island called Mommies. It’s in the Western Ocean right next to the island of Jokey. There are 1086 airports on Mommies.

REMOTE CONTROL AIRPLANE

Papa gave me a drone for my fourth birthday, which I managed to break pretty quickly. So we got a remote control airplane and I was piloting like a champion!

But as the storm clouds rolled in, I pushed my plane further and further. After one too many crashes in the blackberry bushes, my trusty friend could fly no more. RIP, Twin Explorer. May you fly with the drone in heaven.

SCHOOL FIELD TRIP

My school returned to the Lee Farms pumpkin patch this year.

We went on a walking tour of the farm, which included cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, and, of course, pumpkins.

I won’t go on playground slides by myself yet, but I had no problem with this one. I guess playground slides are just too small for me!
