My summer of Legos @ The Library continues, this time at the Hillsdale branch.

I made rollercoaster cars, so, of course, I had to test them to make sure they were fun enough.


My summer of Legos @ The Library continues, this time at the Hillsdale branch.

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!

Oh funny, did someone put Oaks Amusement Park into Mommy’s phone calendar? Oh yes, I think that was me.





I went to the Sellwood Library again for Legos @ The Library and made a Minecraft village!



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!



It’s been a long time since I did LEGOs @ the Library in Portland, but I wanted to make my triumphant return! I have a few more planned this summer before school starts.


For Mommy’s birthday, I took her out to my favorite place – Oaks, of course!

We tilted and whirled…

…flew a hot air balloon…

…rode the wild ocean…

…and went on a ride we’d never been on – the Rock-O-Plane!


Oh, yeah, and I continued to fantasize about the day I’m 48 inches tall and get to ride Adrenaline Peak!

For Daddy’s birthday, we went to a Portland Pickles baseball game!

We sat out in the left field berm, and I got to watch the players practice before the game.


I also drew some goat milk fields while we waited for the game to start.

Then the game started and Daddy showed me what everyone was doing.


The best thing about being out in the berm is that you can run around and play during the game.



I also liked wandering around the park. This hill was fun to climb up.


And these cinderblocks were fun to step on.

I also played a little game of cornhole.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Portland Pickles game without getting some pickles on a stick!



And, yippee, the Pickles WON!

And here’s the card I made him, too!

I went to Oaks Amusement Park again!


This is the ride I want to go on when I’m 48 inches tall. (4 inches to go!)

We went to Ikea, and Daddy and I pretended to have a conversation in these matching parenting and child wing chairs.
