HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and arrived on Grandpa’s birthday.

I was already asleep by then, but the next day, we went to Lake Oswego to look at apartments. They’re thinking about living here for part of the year!

Then they took me to a toy store in Portland called Hammer and Jacks. I got to pick out this awesome marble run.

At night, we gave Grandpa his present. I was especially excited for him to read his card because I think it’s the funniest thing ever.

SATURDAY OUTING

Before Labor Day, we headed to Lake Oswego for a new (to us) breakfast joint called Chuck’s.

As you can see, waiting is so fun.

Mommy asked me to smile for the camera, so I did…

Much more fun was walking along this narrow ledge. I am a self-proclaimed “dare devil.”

And even more fun was sliding down this mega slide at Sahallie Illahee Park in West Linn!

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!

CROSSING THE BORDER

For Crystal and Chris’ final day, we crossed the border into Vancouver, WA. We walked the sleepy streets searching for lunch.

And we found it in Vancouver’s oldest diner (since 1932), Joe Brown’s Cafe. I tried eating my hamburger and chips with a fork because I’m very elegant.

How cool is this Vancouver mural??

Then we went back to Oregon to visit the Portland Japanese Garden. I found tons of bridges!

While we waited for Chubs’ dog sitter to drop him off at our usual meeting place, I got to play in this cool playground.

Thanks, Crystal and Chris, for a fun few days!

CHOCOLATE SHOPPING

For those observational types, though I have quite a few shirts, I’m picking out my own clothes these days, and this green shirt with the bugs on it is my very favorite. Thank you to Sebastian‘s mom for giving it to me! And also thank you to Crystal for the black pants. My legs are finally long enough to fit in them!
