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!

BRIDGETOWN

I’m playing tourist in Portland and finally went to Voodoo Doughnut.

Then we walked across the Burnside Bridge! Did you know I love bridges???

Bridgetown

Then Mommy made me pose by this wall.

While we walked around the city, we stumbled upon this fantastic playground, just as the sun came out.

While Crystal and Chris shopped for books at Powell’s, I took out my drawing supplies and got to work.

To cap off a great day, we walked across the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Walkway. I see it every time I take the tram, but it was the first time I’d been on it.

BIRTHDAY PARTY REDUX

Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!
