GOODNIGHT, NEVADA

When it was time to go home, I was super excited to get back on the airplane. (It seems that everyone can tell, because I was able to snag three sets of Alaska Airlines wings from the flight attendants.)

LAKE MEAD

During one of the few windows of rainlessness while in Nevada, we went to Lake Mead to feed the ducks and fish. Even though the carp had gigantic mouths, they were too slow to grab any of the food. Those ducks are fast!

BUDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

It’s been raining in Nevada, so we stayed in most of the day again. I grabbed Mommy’s phone and took advantage of having new surroundings and subjects to photograph.

I also like to do some experimental works…

SNOWPOCALYPSE

My little Portland suburb covered in snow. Ain’t it pretty?

BUT I HAD PLACES TO GO! It was about to be my birthday and I was scheduled to get on an airplane (an airplane!!!) to see Nana and Papa!

Long story short: the roads were insane, we abandoned our car, waited for an Uber driver with chains on his tires, sat in a standstill on the freeway for an eternity, just missed our flight, and finally booked ourselves on a flight scheduled to leave 4 hours later which was delayed an additional 2 1/2 hours. So there was a lot of waiting. (And, by the way, I was the awesomest kid ever and Mommy and Daddy thanked their lucky stars that I am an airplane and airport fanatic and determined to make this trip happen.)

We finally took off at 11:20pm and I got to celebrate the stroke of midnight of my birthday, quite fittingly, on Alaska Airlines. Then I finally fell asleep. And thanks to Nana and Papa for picking us up at 1:10am and then hanging out with me when I asked for “dinner” at 2am.
