PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND TOUR, PART 1

I got this cool idea to visit all of the playgrounds at West Linn’s primary schools. So we visited three of them today and we’ll do the other three next weekend.

A SPRING WALK

It was a lovely spring day, so we went for a walk!

There was still evidence of February’s ice storm on the trails.

Daddy and I tried to karate chop this tree out of the way.

CANBY FERRY

I’ve been wanting to ride a ferry for a while. Luckily, I found one really close, called the Canby Ferry. We drove to it on a sunny day. It holds four entire cars and takes a full two minutes to cross the Willamette River!

I’m riding on it right now!

MILO PLAYDATE

Milo was in my kindergarten class and is also in my online 1st grade class. Exactly one year and one day after I last saw him, I went to his backyard to play! His brother, Max, is really fun, too.

POWER OUTAGE 2021

Because of the ice storm that hit West Linn, we were out of power for 5 days!

We did stuff like eat cheese quesadillas in the dark…

…And play with water and syringes in the sink.

I hung out with Fluffy, who just happens to glow different colors.

We also had to go buy stuff sometimes. We parked our car across the street and found all sorts of obstacles getting there.

One of the things we bought was an inverter to hook up to our car battery. I waited patiently in this cardboard box while Mommy and Daddy hooked it up.

After the inverter was hooked up, we had enough electricity to charge our computer!

We didn’t have internet, but I found this awesome dinosaur game that showed up on any Chrome page without internet.

On what turned out to be our last night without power, we drove to Oregon City and ate delicious hot pizza in our warm car.

ALPHA III ROCKET LAUNCH

Grandma and Grandpa got me a rocket for Hanukkah. Today, we launched it!

This is what we look like on the very first day of 2021!

HALLOWEEN 2020

We celebrated a socially distanced Halloween this year!

First, we carved pumpkins and Sunnie was very curious about this ritual.

We also made a sign for our candy table.

I dressed up as an orange tabby, like Sunnie! Meow!

We didn’t knock on doors this year, but our town did a lot of candy tables, bowls, and chutes.

How awesome is this black cat pumpkin someone painted?

Despite the unusual Halloween, I still brought in a big candy haul! My favorites were Sour Patch Kids and Kit Kats.

LUNCHTIME WALK

My school district gives out free lunch to all of the kids. So after my morning Zoom classes, we walk to one of the school buses that hands them out. It’s a nice little ten minute walk to break up the day.
