Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo. I’m not exactly…a fan of animals. They kind of scare me. But I was super brave and went anyway.
And rode on a train and a carousel!

NEW YORK CITY AFTERNOON
Daddy, Mommy, and I decided to go into New York City for a few hours and met up with my old friend, Seth!
While Daddy was busy using the restroom, I was busy looking bad to the bone in front of the diner we ate lunch at.
Then we went on the subway and it was SUPER AWESOME.
Then we went on the Roosevelt Island Tramway because I love aerial trams and I’ve been watching videos and looking at pictures and fantasizing about riding this tram. And it was even MORE AWESOME THAN THE SUBWAY.
Eventually, we had to leave the tram. Here is Mommy’s and my reflection in a window of Dylan’s Candy Store.
It was fun hanging out, NYC!
KAYAKING
On my first full day in Grantham, I went kayaking for the first time! We packed the sand bucket, monster truck, and toy boat for the beach, but once I got in the kayak, it’s all I wanted to do.
We also went out to eat a couple of times. This is me and Uncle Mike during breakfast.
And here’s me and Grandma relaxing before dinner.
OCEANSIDE, DAY TWO
On our second and final day in Oceanside, I wasted no time hitting the beach.
This is what it looks like when Mommy asks me to stand by Daddy and Chubs for a picture. Run!
Daddy’s feet thought the water was really cold!
Here are some actual pictures of me with Mommy.
Daddy drew an airplane in the sand, so I got on board.
Then we went on a short beach hike that ended in a tunnel inside of a mountain.
After the beach, I really wanted to see the lighthouse nearby. I went up three times!
Can you see me in there?
MOMMY’S 40TH BIRTHDAY
Mommy chose a peach cobbler for her birthday treat, but we got a li’l symbolic birthday cake for the candles. Each candle represents a decade!
SKYROCOPTER
Over the weekend, we went out into the 99 degree heat to fly the Skyrocopter that Grandpa got me a while back. It was so hot, we were the only weirdos outside. But when you gotta fly, you gotta fly!
TRAM SPLASHPAD
We’re in the middle of a Portland-area heat wave, so we went to a splash pad yesterday…with a view of the tram! Can you spot it?
Then when we got home, Papa made me laugh with his funny faces.
DADDY’S BIRTHDAY
Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.
Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.
But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!
In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.
All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.
SPRING SKETCHING
When Mommy and Daddy used to take me to a restaurant, they had to bring a bunch of cars, then airplanes, to keep me busy. Now it’s my sketchbook and Crayolas.
REED LAKE
For Mother’s Day, we all went on a hike around Reed Lake, which is on the Reed College campus. I hiked the whole thing, over a mile long!
Here’s the bookmark I gave Mommy for Mother’s Day. She loved it!
