Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Sarah are all visiting us right now! We wandered all around Portland, going out to lunch, checking out a record store, visiting a nursery, and more.
LUDWIGS VISIT PORTLAND, DAY 1

NEW YORK WITH AMY & JOHN
Cousin Amy and John took the bus all the way to New York City to see us all while we were in town. I got another ride on the subway!
When Mommy and Daddy lived in New York, midtown Manhattan on the Hudson River was a whole bunch of nothing. Now it’s a HUGE area with parks, malls, art, and activities. It’s called Hudson Yards and we had a great time hanging out with Amy and John there.
BYE, UNCLE MIKE & AUNT SARAH
Grandma and Grandpa left late last night. And Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah left today. But before they went, we had breakfast with them at Banning’s Restaurant & Pie House. Thanks for visiting, everyone!
BUG HUNTING WITH THE LUDWIG GANG
Grandpa gave me a new bug catcher. So he, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Sarah went to the park with us as I looked for bugs.
BIRTHDAY GET-TOGETHER WITH OLD FRIENDS
On my last full day in Los Angeles, I was worn out from a very full week.
But it was the day I invited three old friends to come play with me at Shane’s Inspiration playground.
The first to arrive was Sebastian!
We got right to juice drinking and cupcake decorating.
The little boy behind Sebastian is his new brother, Charles.
Then Veronica came and joined us at the decorating table.
Last but not least, Andy arrived and we compared sandy hands.
Andy’s sister, Nicholena, was just a baby when we left three years ago.
After decorating our cupcakes, it was time for me to blow out the candles on my self-decorated cake. It was fun seeing all of my old buddies again!
After hanging out with my friends, I went out to ice cream with Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah. For some reason, I wrote numbers on their palms.
And drew airplanes and amusement parks before having to say goodbye.
LEBANON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
We went to a small airport in Lebanon, New Hampshire and I saw a private jet take off and a helicopter student practicing their flying.
We also went into the terminal and pretended we were private jet bigwigs.
KAYAKING
On my first full day in Grantham, I went kayaking for the first time! We packed the sand bucket, monster truck, and toy boat for the beach, but once I got in the kayak, it’s all I wanted to do.
We also went out to eat a couple of times. This is me and Uncle Mike during breakfast.
And here’s me and Grandma relaxing before dinner.
LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER
After we landed in Boston, we stayed the night at a hotel so that we could go to LEGOLAND! Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike drove down to meet us there and we had an awesome time.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
In the morning, Grandma and Grandpa’s friends, Gene and Maureen, came by to say “hi.” I showed them my cars and the new contraption Uncle Mike and I were working on (a catapult!).
Then we went to a restaurant in White River Junction, VT to officially celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary. And after, we got to see a train leave the station!
SUGARBUSH FARM
We visited Sugarbush Farm yesterday in Woodstock, VT. Everyone else enjoyed the animals, and the cheese and maple syrup tasting, but I was pretty unimpressed…until I found the sandbox with trucks!
Afterwards, we went for ice cream (I ordered the “baby” size, which was about the size of an actual 6 pound baby) and I made Tinkertoy contraptions with Uncle Mike. Then it was time to wind down with some good ol’ reliable Tayo videos on Mommy’s phone. A fun day!
