SANTA CLAUS

The Autism Society of Oregon set up a sensory-friendly Santa experience. No music or camera flashes! (They GET me).

Still, there was no way I was going to look at the camera lady. (You can’t just trust a total stranger.)

Instead of asking for toys, I got down to the important business of asking Santa what airlines he’s been on. He said North Pole Airlines. What?? Never heard of that one…and I’ve heard of ’em all.

I also let him know all of the roads we drove on to come see him.

Then it was off to the craft table to make a cool ornament. Thanks, Santa!

ZOOLIGHTS

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo to see their annual Christmas light extravaganza, ZooLights.

But first…had to check out this awesome bridge! (I love bridges.)

Then it was time to hit the carousel, one of my favorites.

It finally got dark enough for the lights to turn on…

Then on to my other favorite – the zoo train!

Added bonus: Supermoon!

AUTUMN WALK

We had a break in the rain today, so we went out to the path behind our house for a little walk. I’ve become quite the outdoorsman!

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!

ECLIPSE 2017

Today was the eclipse! From our deck in West Linn, Oregon, we had 99.2% obscuration. Not bad!

We also watched the eclipse watchers down at the park behind our house. This was at totality, which means the sun is super strong! Even with 99.2% obscuration, it didn’t get that dark.

NEW YORK CITY AFTERNOON

Daddy, Mommy, and I decided to go into New York City for a few hours and met up with my old friend, Seth!

While Daddy was busy using the restroom, I was busy looking bad to the bone in front of the diner we ate lunch at.

Then we went on the subway and it was SUPER AWESOME.

Then we went on the Roosevelt Island Tramway because I love aerial trams and I’ve been watching videos and looking at pictures and fantasizing about riding this tram. And it was even MORE AWESOME THAN THE SUBWAY.

Eventually, we had to leave the tram. Here is Mommy’s and my reflection in a window of Dylan’s Candy Store.

It was fun hanging out, NYC!

RHINEBECK AERODROME

On the way to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in New York, we stopped by the Rhinebeck Aerodrome and met up with Amy and Jon. Even though it was a billion degrees out, it was super fun.

SEE YA NEXT YEAR, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire before we set off for New York.

My favorite part of the day was flying the gliders Grandpa got me!

We also went to King Arthur Flour where I turned wheat berries into flour. That was also super fun. I now want a mill.

Then we went to a bookstore that had a cool little tiny house outside. I had fun, New Hampshire!

LEBANON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

We went to a small airport in Lebanon, New Hampshire and I saw a private jet take off and a helicopter student practicing their flying.

We also went into the terminal and pretended we were private jet bigwigs.

KAYAKING

On my first full day in Grantham, I went kayaking for the first time! We packed the sand bucket, monster truck, and toy boat for the beach, but once I got in the kayak, it’s all I wanted to do.
