After we landed in Boston, we stayed the night at a hotel so that we could go to LEGOLAND! Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike drove down to meet us there and we had an awesome time.

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!
SKYROCOPTER
Over the weekend, we went out into the 99 degree heat to fly the Skyrocopter that Grandpa got me a while back. It was so hot, we were the only weirdos outside. But when you gotta fly, you gotta fly!
DADDY’S BIRTHDAY
Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.
Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.
But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!
In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.
All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.
OSWEGO HILLS VINEYARD & WINERY
For Father’s Day, we went to the Oswego Hills Vineyard & Winery down the road from our house. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun!
But after a couple of glasses, I had to cast a disapproving look…
Just kidding, Daddy! Happy Father’s Day!
CASA VACA TAQUERIA
Over the weekend, we went to Portland for brunch.
Daddy was so hungry, he tried to eat my head.
I was tasked with the important job of putting Daddy’s creamer in his coffee.
I did great!
Then we decided to point at our breakfast burritos.
Brunch ended with some riveting conversation, probably about LEGO…
…or airplanes.
Then I was left to pay the bill, as usual.
REED LAKE
For Mother’s Day, we all went on a hike around Reed Lake, which is on the Reed College campus. I hiked the whole thing, over a mile long!
Here’s the bookmark I gave Mommy for Mother’s Day. She loved it!
