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!
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!
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!
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.
Grandma and Grandpa are visiting this weekend! I took Grandpa to the hobby shop and he agreed with me that it’s totally awesome. Oh and, yeah, he bought li’l ol’ me some cars. Thanks, Grandpa!
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!
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.
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire. It rained in the morning, so I stayed in and played with Duplo blocks and my cars. Then we went to King Arthur Flour, where I tried (and am pretty sure I liked) a maple flavored lollipop. Then I went to Left Bank Books on the Dartmouth campus where I immediately found their stash of cars!
Bye, New Hampshire! Bye, Grandma and Grandpa!
We went back to the beach! This time, I wasn’t as interested in going in the water. But Grandpa showed me how to use my fishing reel on his boat and I played with my cars in the sand. Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah joined us, too, and Uncle Mike pretended to be a sea monster.
Also, we went out to eat for breakfast and dinner. Not only was I amazingly well-behaved, but I also nibbled on some fruit, Grandma’s pickles, Mommy’s home fries, and Auntie Sarah’s maple syrup. Plus, I succeeded in sucking on a straw for the very first time! I’m not totally sure how I did that, but I’ll work on it again today.
Wow, what a day in Grantham! We went to the lake and I loooved playing in the water. We got to see Grandpa’s new boat. I helped Grandma vacuum, played in my new red car, and nibbled on some pizza! What will tomorrow bring?
