We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Portland neighborhood of Nob Hill yesterday. While they and Daddy went into Blue Star Donuts, I had fun talking to people outside. Then I got out my camera for some good street shots.

BIRTHDAY PARTY REDUX
Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!
THANK YOU, GRANDMA
While I was in the hospital, Grandma flew in from New York to take care of Chubs. It was a big relief to Mommy and Daddy to know that Chubs was in good hands.
I also had fun talking about airplanes with her and looking at countries on my world map.
DOG PARK AND THE LAKE
It was our last full day in New Hampshire, so we took Pi to the dog park and I pretended to be a dog, too. Then we went to the lake and I took a little dip. The water was even warmer than our heated pool in Oregon.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
In the morning, Grandma and Grandpa’s friends, Gene and Maureen, came by to say “hi.” I showed them my cars and the new contraption Uncle Mike and I were working on (a catapult!).
Then we went to a restaurant in White River Junction, VT to officially celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary. And after, we got to see a train leave the station!
SUGARBUSH FARM
We visited Sugarbush Farm yesterday in Woodstock, VT. Everyone else enjoyed the animals, and the cheese and maple syrup tasting, but I was pretty unimpressed…until I found the sandbox with trucks!
Afterwards, we went for ice cream (I ordered the “baby” size, which was about the size of an actual 6 pound baby) and I made Tinkertoy contraptions with Uncle Mike. Then it was time to wind down with some good ol’ reliable Tayo videos on Mommy’s phone. A fun day!
MULTNOMAH VILLAGE
For Grandma and Grandpa’s last day in Oregon, we headed to Southwest Portland and walked around the Multnomah Village area. There was a big toy store with an awesome train set (I’m starting to get into trains now!) and a bookstore Daddy likes. Grandma and Grandpa told me I could pick out any toy I wanted, so I headed over to the ol’ car section and chose a cool gray and orange Porsche 911. And they bought me four new books, too. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!
EASTBOUND
Yesterday, we traveled east of Portland to the Columbia River Gorge and hiked at Bridal Veil Falls State Park. I got to see my very first waterfall! Then we went to the McMenamin’s Edgefield hotel to walk the grounds and eat some lunch. Chubs and I were sooo tired when we got home.
PARTY WEEKEND: ACCOMPLISHED
Wow! What a weekend. I said goodbye to Nana, Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa yesterday. I had lots of fun, played with lots of cars, and consumed lots of sugar. Thank you for coming to celebrate with me!
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY
Yesterday was my family birthday party. I got so many car and truck things, I hardly know what to do with them! But I think I’ll manage.
