DADDY’S 46th BIRTHDAY

For Daddy’s birthday, we went to a Portland Pickles baseball game!

We sat out in the left field berm, and I got to watch the players practice before the game.

I also drew some goat milk fields while we waited for the game to start.

Then the game started and Daddy showed me what everyone was doing.

The best thing about being out in the berm is that you can run around and play during the game.

I also liked wandering around the park. This hill was fun to climb up.

And these cinderblocks were fun to step on.

I also played a little game of cornhole.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Portland Pickles game without getting some pickles on a stick!

And, yippee, the Pickles WON!

And here’s the card I made him, too!

FATHER’S DAY 2019

I made Daddy a Father’s Day card and showed him all the cool drawings I put in it.

Then we went to a record store in Oregon City and found a record with “It’s A Small World” on it! With the Father’s Day discount, it cost $1. It was a Father’s Day miracle!

Then we went home, put the record on, and danced through that whole wonderful chorus.

OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK

Ever since we got back from Disneyland, I’ve been dreaming about going to Oaks Amusement Park in Portland. I put this day in Mommy’s calendar and, even though it was rainy, I wasn’t going to miss it!

Here I am on Up, Up, & Away!

And looking tough on Chipper’s Choppers.

As the rain started to come down, I went up on the ferris wheel…

…and saw Daddy way, way down there. Do you see him with his hands in the air?

We went under cover on the Oaks Park Train and Daddy pretended that he wasn’t soaking wet.

This was my favorite ride – Sky Fighters!

The last ride of the day was Go Karts. By this time, I was a soaking wet sponge. Despite my glum face, I rated this as my second favorite ride!

All in all, a successful day!

SPRING VISIT TO KENJI’S, PART ONE

Me, Mommy, and Daddy did a quick weekend trip up to Kenji’s house in Seattle. When we got there, Kenji was napping, so I took a long walk around the neighborhood.

By the time we got back, I was VERY tired.

But Kenji was awake! I gave him one of my syringes and extension sets because he likes playing with them in the water.

Then I showed him the joys of Minecraft.

Mommy gave him an octopus t-shirt she made and he strutted around like a real runway model.

And Daddy played blanket jail with him. Kenji’s a real goofball.

LINCOLN CITY

I’ve been wanting to go to Lincoln City for a while now – and we finally did it! It’s a small town on the Oregon coast and I got to navigate the way there.

I initially wanted to wade in the ocean, but it’s still so cold there, I opted for kite flying instead.

In fact, it was so chilly, I had to do a wardrobe change and put on my winter jacket.

I’ve become quite the kite flyer since my first time two years ago.

I also liked climbing on driftwood and digging in the sand!

TOWN SQUARE

It was another sunny day, so we went to another park in the middle of the Town Square Mall.

I rode a unicorn…

…And baked Mommy a cake.

I also did some hula hooping.

My favorite, though, was the train! (Aka the “Cactus Coaster.”)

WINDY CITY

Today, I planned on going to the pool. But it was such a windy day, I decided to skip it and hang out instead.

I went for a walk around the neighborhood to search for Endermite food. (Endermite is a character in Minecraft.)

I had to fight the wind!

And then Daddy had to fight the wind!

Afterwards, Nana wanted to take a family portrait of me, Mommy, and Daddy.

And then I wanted to take a family portrait, too.

THE ADVENTUREDOME

On my first morning in Henderson, Papa told me about his days as a fingerprint analyst and showed me fingerprints on the computer.

Then we looked at my fingerprints through a magnifying loupe.

Afterwards, we got to do the thing I was super excited for – The Adventuredome at Circus Circus. I LOVED IT.

Here’s a little video of me having the time of my life.
