KENJI’S 6th BIRTHDAY (DAY ONE)

For Kenji’s 6th birthday, he had a party at the Great Wolf Lodge!!! That’s one of my absolute all-time favorite places.

They have an arcade, which I looooooooove.

They have a wave pool, which Kenji loooooooooves.

And there are lots of activities, like…storytime…

…exploring the Moonstone Mine…

…and finding gemstones at Oliver’s Mining Company. Stay tuned for Day 2!

THE K-STORM

Kenji visited and we immediately got into action mode. We played “Fight for the End,” built roller coasters, and made tie-dye shirts.

Then the next day, we went to Oaks and had the best time ever!

Finally, on our last day, we went to the park and had fun on the basketball court. It’s always the best time when the K-Storm visits!

SUMMER FUN AT KENJI’S 2022

I went to Kenji’s house (I mean Spider-Man’s house) and it was super fun!

Of course we went to Wild Waves! Whenever Mommy wanted to take a picture, I pretended I was asleep.

One of the most fun things we did was put on alllll our clothes. All at the same time. Even Mommy and Daddy’s clothes! I always love going to Kenji’s house.

GREAT WOLF LODGE

Kenji and I went to the Great Wolf Lodge, a water park and all-around fun kid place in Washington!

For a while, we couldn’t stop pretending we were wolves.

We went to the arcade and Kenji won tons of tickets on one of the games.

I found the beds to be really comfy.

And while we waited for our pizza dinner, Kenji and I discovered this ancient relic called a telephone.

Here’s a video of even more stuff we did! It was super fun!

ADVENTURE PARK WITH KENJI

Kenji came down to visit us for the weekend, so we went up to Adventure Park on Mt. Hood for some action. We started by riding the Alpine Slide – but, first, you get to take a ski lift up to the top of the slide!

Then we drove the Kiddie Karts. Kenji is already an expert driver of his Tesla.

Next, we did the Bungee Trampoline. Kenji could do backflips!

When we went to the Pony Ride area, we found out that we actually got to ride a donkey!

I’ve never ridden one and was nervous, so Daddy held me on in the beginning.

But then I was able to ride all by myself!

Mommy, Auntie Lisa, and Kenji went on the Aqua Rollers, where you roll around on top of water. This was Mommy’s view out the side of her roller.

And then at home, as we often do, we cozied up in bed to rest. It was fun having you, Kenji!

NICE SEEING YOU, TAYLORS!

After I go to a new amusement park, I like to update the list of rides I’ve ridden into a Google spreadsheet. Sakura was very interested! Maybe a future coaster enthusiast?

Then Kenji and I played around in the comfiness of his bed.

Hmm, it seems like we do that a lot! (Flashback to 2017!)

It was nice to see you, Sakura! You’ve grown so big in the last year!

WILD WAVES

Kenji and I went to Wild Waves Theme and Water Park! I was sooooo excited!!! The first ride I went on was The Wild Thing roller coaster. It had a vertical loop and two corkscrews. It was great, and also my first Arrow Corkscrew.

Then I went on Timberhawk: Ride of Prey, an S&S Sansei wooden coaster. It was so fun, I went on it 3 times. It’s my new favorite coaster!

Here’s Mommy and I riding in the front row before our first ride.

Here’s a video of my off-ride reaction!

After riding the 48″ and up rides, I found Kenji in the water park and he came with me to ride some more rides!

His first ride there was Kiddie Coaster, a Zamperla Tornado powered coaster, one of only four still operating in the world.

Then Kenji rode with Daddy on the ferris wheel.

We also went on what I believe is the worst carousel in the world.

But Frog Hopper was so fun!

So was Red Baron! I’m flying in the red bi-plane and Kenji is in the white one behind me.

That’s a wrap on Wild Waves. It’s my new favorite amusement park I’ve ever been to!
