We went to Sushi Hurray for Mommy’s birthday. I love to watch the food go around and around…
My favorite sushi is…the watermelon!
Here’s the card I made Mommy, too!
MOMMY’S 42nd BIRTHDAY DINNER

OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK III
For Mommy’s birthday, I took her out to my favorite place – Oaks, of course!
We tilted and whirled…
…flew a hot air balloon…
…rode the wild ocean…
…and went on a ride we’d never been on – the Rock-O-Plane!
Oh, yeah, and I continued to fantasize about the day I’m 48 inches tall and get to ride Adrenaline Peak!
SEASIDE, OREGON
Grandpa wanted to go to the Ham Radio Convention in the coastal town of Seaside. So, while he and Daddy went there, Mommy and I hit the beach!
The first thing I noticed was a swing set!
Then it was time to dig to “the void.”
I also wanted to get my feet wet, but I was kind of scared of the cold water.
But I did it and spent the next hour running away from waves!
Here’s a video of me running away from those waves:
OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK
Ever since we got back from Disneyland, I’ve been dreaming about going to Oaks Amusement Park in Portland. I put this day in Mommy’s calendar and, even though it was rainy, I wasn’t going to miss it!
Here I am on Up, Up, & Away!
And looking tough on Chipper’s Choppers.
As the rain started to come down, I went up on the ferris wheel…
…and saw Daddy way, way down there. Do you see him with his hands in the air?
We went under cover on the Oaks Park Train and Daddy pretended that he wasn’t soaking wet.
This was my favorite ride – Sky Fighters!
The last ride of the day was Go Karts. By this time, I was a soaking wet sponge. Despite my glum face, I rated this as my second favorite ride!
All in all, a successful day!
SPRING VISIT TO KENJI’S, PART TWO
On our final day visiting Kenji, we went to Volunteer Park. First, I explored the playground on my own.
Then Kenji and I went climbing on stuff.
And we found my favorite playground thing – the swings!
Aunt Lisa even took a secret family photo of us!
MOTHER’S DAY 2019
For Mother’s Day, we went to a nursery to get a tomato plant and some flowers that I wanted. (I chose lavender and an African daisy!)
Mommy sometimes makes the mistake of asking me to pose for a picture.
I was too tired to take a picture at the nursery, so I said we could take a picture outside the library after we returned a book. Still too tired!
She did love the gift I gave her, though. I painted the pot and planted the seeds. They’re growing quite nicely! (There’s also a bonus clay alien, too.)
And I made her these Mother’s Day cards!
HIGH ROLLING AGAIN
I started off the day discovering the most amazing thing about Minecraft – you can build a roller coaster!!!
Then I found some toothpicks and used them to make letters.
And then I went on the High Roller again! It’s kind of like a huge ferris wheel and was one of my favorite things to do when I visited Nana and Papa last year.
THE ADVENTUREDOME
On my first morning in Henderson, Papa told me about his days as a fingerprint analyst and showed me fingerprints on the computer.
Then we looked at my fingerprints through a magnifying loupe.
Afterwards, we got to do the thing I was super excited for – The Adventuredome at Circus Circus. I LOVED IT.
Here’s a little video of me having the time of my life.
GOODBYE, LOS ANGELES
On the morning before heading home, we had breakfast at HomeState with Crystal & Chris and Veronica and her family.
The little boy is Veronica’s brother, Lex.
I talked to Veronica’s daddy, Kenny, about airplanes and Route 110.
I also took pictures of Daddy, Mommy, and Veronica.
Then Veronica and I climbed the fence that kept us from Figueroa Street.
Goodbye for now, LA. I had fun!
BIRTHDAY GET-TOGETHER WITH OLD FRIENDS
On my last full day in Los Angeles, I was worn out from a very full week.
But it was the day I invited three old friends to come play with me at Shane’s Inspiration playground.
The first to arrive was Sebastian!
We got right to juice drinking and cupcake decorating.
The little boy behind Sebastian is his new brother, Charles.
Then Veronica came and joined us at the decorating table.
Last but not least, Andy arrived and we compared sandy hands.
Andy’s sister, Nicholena, was just a baby when we left three years ago.
After decorating our cupcakes, it was time for me to blow out the candles on my self-decorated cake. It was fun seeing all of my old buddies again!
After hanging out with my friends, I went out to ice cream with Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah. For some reason, I wrote numbers on their palms.
And drew airplanes and amusement parks before having to say goodbye.
