INDEPENDENCE DAY 2017

It was America’s birthday! To celebrate, we hit the beach again – but this time, the one that’s only 10 minutes away on the Willamette River.

Chubs liked this one a lot more because it was actually warm and sunny.

It was time to get down to the business of building a LEGO river boat.

Will it float???

YES!!!

Even Chubs was excited!

On the walk back to the car, I found a big stick!

USA! USA! USA! Land of big sticks!

SKYROCOPTER

Over the weekend, we went out into the 99 degree heat to fly the Skyrocopter that Grandpa got me a while back. It was so hot, we were the only weirdos outside. But when you gotta fly, you gotta fly!

DADDY’S BIRTHDAY

Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.

Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.

But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!

In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.

All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.
