Me: For my next birthday, I want a cannon that shoots out a person.
LEGOS @ THE LIBRARY II
Now that I know Portland libraries do LEGO building events, my summer calendar has really filled up. This time, we went to a different library and they had some really cool pieces I’d never seen before.
INDEPENDENCE DAY 2017
It was America’s birthday! To celebrate, we hit the beach again – but this time, the one that’s only 10 minutes away on the Willamette River.
Chubs liked this one a lot more because it was actually warm and sunny.
It was time to get down to the business of building a LEGO river boat.
Will it float???
YES!!!
Even Chubs was excited!
On the walk back to the car, I found a big stick!
USA! USA! USA! Land of big sticks!
OCEANSIDE, DAY TWO
On our second and final day in Oceanside, I wasted no time hitting the beach.
This is what it looks like when Mommy asks me to stand by Daddy and Chubs for a picture. Run!
Daddy’s feet thought the water was really cold!
Here are some actual pictures of me with Mommy.
Daddy drew an airplane in the sand, so I got on board.
Then we went on a short beach hike that ended in a tunnel inside of a mountain.
After the beach, I really wanted to see the lighthouse nearby. I went up three times!
Can you see me in there?
OCEANSIDE, DAY ONE
For Mommy’s 40th birthday, we decided to finally visit the Oregon coast. On day one, we got to Oceanside Beach in the afternoon, and I immediately remembered, I love the ocean!
Just as I was a big fan of the beach, Chubs was a big fan of a comfy bed in a warm hotel room!
CRAYOLA MASTERPIECES #5
BORN TO SING
I’m pretty sure I impressed Nana and Papa with m’ singing pipes.
Born to Sing from the Dexter Video Collection.
SHEDDING THE LAYERS
As it got closer to Nana and Papa’s departure, I had to start shedding the clothing layers. (Shhh…don’t tell them, but as soon as they left, the undies came off, too.)
MOMMY’S 40TH BIRTHDAY
Mommy chose a peach cobbler for her birthday treat, but we got a li’l symbolic birthday cake for the candles. Each candle represents a decade!
THINGS I SAY #54
I am trying to eat a Fig Bar (Fig Newton-like snack) and am getting crumbs all over my clothes.
Me: Oh no! I’m getting gluten everywhere!
