On Valentine’s Day, my kindergarten class got in a big school bus…
…went to the Newmark Theatre in downtown Portland…
…and saw the play, Dragons Love Tacos!
This is what the stage looked like.
This is what we looked like while we waited for everyone to get seated. It was kind of boring.
This is what me and Mommy looked like.
And after the play was over, we got to look out at Broadway while we waited to go back to our bus. (I’m the one in the blue comfy coat because, of course I am.)
I had a routine visit with my gastroenterologist and realized this wooden bead toy in the waiting area looks just like a roller coaster!
We were also visited by Groot and Captain America in the lobby!
I went to see my gastroenterologist and was a liiiiitle high energy. So the nurse told me to draw on this exam table. I drew a rollercoaster! (Of course.)
Today was my last day at Oaks Amusement Park before they close for the fall and winter.
Goodbye, Scrambler.
Goodbye, Up Up & Away.
Goodbye, Chipper’s Choppers.
Then it started to rain and it was time to run.
Gee, I can’t possibly see why they close all fall and winter…
See ya next spring, Oaks!
I finished my first week of kindergarten and I was so tired!
Mommy and Daddy thought I’d want to be lazy all weekend, but I still wanted to go for a drive. We drove to a bunch of places and had a snack in the car.
Now it’s time to be lazy for the rest of the weekend!
I created a new game and I LOVE IT. It’s called “LEGO Road Trip.”
First, I drop a bunch of pins on Google Maps and have Mommy write down the addresses. Then I pick a bunch of LEGOs for each stop and put them in their own baggie. Finally, we drive to each location, park on the side of the road, and I build a LEGO roller coaster car!
I even picked out a place to have lunch (El Indio in Portland) and built a roller coaster car there, too. We’re definitely doing this again!
Today was my final trip to Oaks Amusement Park before school starts. It was a cool, drizzly day, but I scrambled my brains out on The Scrambler!
I also sat in this Screamin’ Eagle practice seat, just waiting to become 48 inches tall.
Speaking of waiting to become 48 inches tall, I watched Adrenaline Peak go about 100 times before finally heading home.
I found this ramp on the sidewalk and just had to run down it over and over and over again.
Then I got my haircut and acquired a new balloon…and ran down the ramp some more.
It’s turning out to be my summer of animals, as I actually asked to go to the Oregon Zoo.
This is the animal I specifically wanted to see – the Pacific Lamprey. It’s an eel-like fish that’s been around for over 450 million years. And it eats poop!
I also saw a giraffe…
…and a bear.
My favorite insect was the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.
But my very, very, very favorite animal at the zoo was the Domestic Cat! I went back to see him three times.
Isn’t Buddy cute??
I’m completely obsessed with LEGOs again (obviously). I don’t like sets with instructions anymore, though. I just want to make whatever I want.
