ADRENALINE PEAK

I went to Oaks again! As you can see, I am officially 48″ tall, which means I can go on a lot more rides.

And guess what??? I went on Adrenaline Peak! I was super scared, but super brave. It was my first inverting coaster (three inversions, actually!) and past vertical drop.

This is me on Adrenaline Peak! Who wants to go with me next time?

Another new one I can ride has become my very favorite: Disk-O! I went on it 3 times.

I also went on Rock and Roll…

…and an oldie but goodie, Chipper’s Choppers. Plus a bunch of others. It was an awesome day! I can’t wait to go again!

PORTLAND DAY

I’ve been trapped at home for so long, I really wanted to go to Portland and have a big day.

First, I wanted to go to Forest Park and hike to the Witch’s Castle.

After walking for almost a mile, we found it!

Then we had to walk back up to go to our next stop.

We ordered some food from Burgerville and went to Peninsula Park to have our lunch.

This is usually a big rose garden so it looked kind of weird to have a field of dead roses. But I liked running around the edge of it.

It was a fun day! We even ended it by picking up some donuts! (I got chocolate frosted.)

DRAGONS LOVE TACOS

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.)

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!
