GRANDMA AND GRANDPA COME TO TOWN

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit me! And I pulled all the stops to bring nice, sunny weather here for them.

First, we walked the streets of Lake Oswego to go to our favorite French bakery and Grandma’s favorite florist.

Then we drove all the way up to Vancouver, WA and got to see airplanes at Pearson Field.

After, we headed to an ice cream place. Grandma and I didn’t get any, so it was my opportunity to chat with her about decaf coffee.

Vancouver has so many outdoor murals.

I really wanted to see the Vancouver Land Bridge (another pedestrian bridge to check off the list). But we had to walk pretty far from Fort Vancouver to see it.

We were really close to Pearson Field, so there was some good airplane spotting.

I don’t remember what I was talking about here, but you can bet it was pretty good.

And then Daddy tried to put me in a cannon. It was a good day!

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.

We also went out to eat a couple of times. This is me and Uncle Mike during breakfast.

And here’s me and Grandma relaxing before dinner.

LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER

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.

NOB HILL

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!

GRANDPA THE HANDYMAN

Grandpa is here visiting and he loves airplanes just like me! I spent the morning showing him my whole fleet of planes. For most of the day, he and Daddy went through the house and fixed a bunch of stuff, so I went to the playground with Mommy. Then in the evening, Daddy and I started building a model airplane that Grandpa brought from New York. I’m the gluer!

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!
