We spent the morning at a small park called DelGrosso’s.
This was my favorite ride, a spinning Wild Mouse coaster called Crazy Mouse.
Here’s a little video recap of our time at DelGrosso’s.

KNOEBELS AMUSEMENT RESORT
Knoebels is a family-owned, almost-100-year-old park, and it was fantastic!
The wooden coaster, Phoenix, was amaaaaazing! There was so much air time, I can’t believe I was even allowed to ride that thing.
Here is a video account of all the rides we did. Important note: I said I liked Twister in the beginning of the video, but by the end of the video, I changed my mind. I DO NOT LIKE TWISTER.
KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 4
It was another amazing day with Kenji and Sakura! We woke up early and hit the ground running.
A little Sakura trivia: she loves the harmonica.
We went to Nana and Papa’s house for an early Christmas celebration.
Then we went home and lit the candles for the fourth night of Hanukkah.
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!
ENCHANTED FOREST & PORTLAND MAVERICKS
We went down to Salem, Oregon to enjoy rides at Enchanted Forest AND watch a Portland Mavericks baseball game!
We didn’t finish all the rides at Enchanted Forest yet, but the Mavericks were starting their game, so we had to go.
The coolest part of the game was that one of the players gave me a ball!
Of course, then we had to go BACK to Enchanted Forest to ride more rides!
Here’s a view of Mommy and I on the roller coaster, Ice Mountain Bobsled. It was a busy, but great day!
FLORIDA COASTER TOUR!
I went on my first ever coaster tour! It was the best time of my life! We went to five amusement parks (Busch Gardens Tampa, LEGOLand Florida, Fun Spot Kissimmee, SeaWorld Orlando, and Universal’s Islands of Adventure) and I rode eleven new roller coasters!
My favorite park, by far, was LEGOLand. And staying in the hotel is a must. It was so much fun.
Of course, the park was awesome, too! There were lots of fun rides, including my favorite coaster, Flying School. I rode it 10 times! There was also a water park, LEGO creations everywhere, and tons of LEGO to build with.
And here’s Daddy and I just goofing around in front of a mural at our Universal Studios hotel.

PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND TOUR, PART 2
We continued our primary school playground tour, starting with my very own (and very favorite), Cedaroaks!
I showed Mommy and Daddy how I like to hang on the monkey bars and then drop down.
I also really love the swings.
But probably my very favorite is the play structure.
Then we went a little down the road to Bolton Primary. Those poor children don’t have a very good playground. But I still had a fun time. (And our last school, Stafford Primary, had their playground locked. Maybe we’ll try next weekend!)
PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND TOUR, PART 1
I got this cool idea to visit all of the playgrounds at West Linn’s primary schools. So we visited three of them today and we’ll do the other three next weekend.
OAKS! FINAL VISIT OF 2021
Today was my final visit to Oaks Park this year. They’re closing for the season soon, so I had to get on my favorite rides!
I love Zoom Coaster and got lots of rides on it. Before one of my rides, I just had to gaze at it lovingly from all angles.
Oaks has a mini museum display about its history. It’s been around since 1905!
I even got one of my new favorite treats – Shave Ice.
We closed out our day on the Scrambler! But we’ll be back next year, of course.
And what else will 2022 bring? I’m hoping to get to Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire, as well as Knott’s Berry Farm (or will it be Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, Six Flags Over Texas, Hershey Park, Discovery Kingdom…….???)
