DORNEY PARK

I will run away from Mommy taking a picture of me by a park sign every time. Mark my words.

Steel Force! My 40th credit! And my first hyper coaster! That’s over 200 feet, folks!

And here’s Daddy being weird.

Here are a couple of videos that the Legoland Fanboy (that’s me) took at this awesome park!

DUTCH WONDERLAND

Right after Sesame Place, we drove to Lancaster, PA to go to Dutch Wonderland. On the way, we even saw Amish people riding their horse-drawn buggies!

At Dutch Wonderland, I got three credits: a great wooden coaster called Kingdom Coaster, an invert called Merlin’s Mayhem, and the kiddie coaster, Joust.

FROG POND FARM

We took Kenji and Sakura to Frog Pond Farm in Wilsonville. It was really fun!

There were a bunch of animals to pet and feed.

Even CAMELS?! By the way, they immediately stole our food cup. Judging from the many food cups on the ground, I think they do that a lot.

Plus, there were games, slides, and even a big maze.

One of our very favorite things, though, was rolling around this huge hamster wheel. Kenji and I know how to have fun!

TRI-CITY DUST DEVILS

While we were in Pasco for the Country Mercantile fair, we went to see a Tri-City Dust Devils game because they’re the High-A affilitiate for the Angels. (This was Daddy’s gift for driving us to Pasco.)

My favorite part, though, was the bouncy house they had. I even met two girls in there who were the daughters of the General Manager.

OAKS BOTTOM WILDLIFE REFUGE

We went to the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge to find more bugs!

I love finding ants and having them crawl all over me.

It was a really pretty place and we saw critters in the water, had snacks, found holes that someone probably lived in, and caught and examined bugs in my bug box.

And, by the way, you may have noticed it’s called Oaks Bottom. Well, it just so happens to have a view of Oaks Amusement Park!

NEWPORT BEACH, OREGON

I wanted to go to the Oregon coast at least once this summer. There are a lot of spots, but I chose Newport Beach.

It was kind of cold and realllly windy. The sand kept blowing on my legs like tiny little bullets. So daddy carried me to the water.

Then we had lunch and walked around at a different (and less windy) section of Newport Beach. I intentionally turned away from the camera here because I don’t like posing for pictures!

But it was still really fun! It was a cute town and I always like seeing the ocean.

CORNER 14

A food court pod recently opened up in Oregon City, so we had to go. Mommy got pizza, Daddy got gumbo, and I got GUACAMOLE! (It was pretty good, but OC Taco’s guac is even better.)

Not only can you get food there, but you can also do Celtic axe throwing! (I’m not old enough, but maybe one day…?).

On the way back to our car, we caught the train that rumbles through there. I can never get enough of that train.
