NEIL AND HIS FAMILY

Daddy’s old friend, Neil, visited Portland with his wife and two kids. So we hung out with them!

First, we went to Pine State Biscuits where I danced because I didn’t like the biscuits.

Then we went to the Rose Garden in Washington Park to check out some tulips. (Kidding!)

I smelled several of the roses until I realized I don’t like the smell of roses.

I also walked down to the amphitheater and pretended to put on a show.

At this point, I was a little bored with roses, so I pretended I was on a rollercoaster.

I also stood in this line with Neil and his kids, Samantha and Owen. (Owen is just like me! He loves Minecraft, doesn’t like hiking, and thinks eating is a big waste of time.)

While walking back to our car for the next adventure, we came across this tree with big exposed roots.

Then we went to Powell’s Books. I did more dancing on the way.

This is pretty much what I do in bookstores.

Finally, we went to Salt & Straw for some ice cream. I got the honey lavender flavor! (Then, I was so tired, I accidentally dropped it on the sidewalk.)

The lady in the pink shirt is Neil’s wife, Liz. She had the salted caramel. It was nice meeting you all!

ALPENROSE DAIRYVILLE

We went to a tiny fake town called Dairyville at a Portland dairy farm called Alpenrose.

There was this wild animal named Daddy who tried to bite me!

Also, I’m not sure if Santa lives here?

Despite my smiles, I actually thought this place was super not fun. But Daddy kept me happy by swinging me around, so I could pretend I was on a rollercoaster!
