We like picking up food at Oregon City Brewing Company, which we’ve gotten in the habit of calling “Corner 15.” It’s filled with food carts and all outdoors, so it can get cold while we wait for our food! Thankfully, they have FIRE.
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!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
The snow and ice melted enough for the Taylor Gang to go home. We built some domino setups before they had to go. I had a super fun time, Kenji!
Kenji and Sakura were supposed to leave today, but it snowed and got really icy. So we got to keep them for an extra day!
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.
Kenji and Sakura are here! We have so much fun together. And we even got to celebrate the third night of Hanukkah with them!
Happy Hanukkah! And thanks for the cool gifts!
As is our annual tradition, we cut down our tree at the Shannon U-Cut Tree Farm.
First, I pick out the perfect tree.
Then, Daddy does the actual cutting.
He also gets to carry it to the car.
Finally, I put the money in the box. Done!
In science this year, we raised salmon from little eggs to alevins to fry. Then it was time to release them into the Willamette River. All of us 3rd graders walked down to the boat dock to let our fry swim free.
I named my fry Salish. I sure hope she makes it to the Pacific Ocean!
This is my 3rd grade class! My teacher, Mr. Jones, is taking the picture.
And here are allll of the 3rd graders!
