ROUTINE OHSU VISIT

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!

OAKS: THE FINAL CHAPTER

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!

OUT FOR A DRIVE

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!

LEGO ROAD TRIP

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!

OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK VI

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.

OREGON ZOO 2019

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??
