Nana and Papa J at the Beach

Nana and Papa J came down to watch the Duck game with us. After the game I wanted to go visit Koda and KJ and play on Mr. Roger's playground.

Mr. Roger left the swings out in case I came back before winter time. Which worked out great. I had new people to push me. I haven't gotten the hang of swinging by myself yet.

Then I showed them how the slide worked!

Mr. Roger let me give Koda and KJ treats.

On the way out Nana hid my fish hat but I found it!

Giving hugs to the dogs until the next visit!

Hoffmans Dairy Farm 10/11

Mommy found a new place to visit called Hoffman's Dairy Farm in Canby, Oregon. They do have pumpkins but they also had a lot of fun activites.

We started out with a train ride around the farm. It went out by the exotic animals, lions, porcupines, etc...

Then we went in to the 3 bouncy houses they had. I could go on any of them for as long as I wanted. It was great. There were no lines. First was the general bouncy house where I jumped really high.

Then I did the obstacle course. I really liked that one. You had to push your way through the bounce house.

Then I went in to the castle which was a little darker. I followed a few kids all the way around and ended up on the slide going down. I really liked all three of them.

Then we went out to the petting zoo. I fed all the animals and boy were they HUNGRY! First was the llamas, they were really sweet.

Then the billy goat nudged his way in. If I got too close to him while feeding the llamas he would try to butt me.

The sheep's tongue tickled my hand and made me laugh.

After that we headed out for some kettle corn and a wagon ride. They even had a wooden carousel I rode on a few times.

Then we found a guy that made balloon animals and I asked him for a fish. He made me a fish on a fishing pole. Maybe Grandpa Dave can make me one of these!

We rode the train one more time so I could fish off the side!

Playing on the Beach 9/11

Even though it was late in September it happened to be an unusally warm day at the beach. Mommy, Daddy and I went to race our boats. I decided to take all my clothes off and run around in my camo underwear.

I had a great time, chasing the boats in the water.

 

Then I found a stick that was almost as big as me!

 

Then it was time for nap so they wrapped me up to keep me warm, I rinsed the sand off my feet and we headed back home.

 



Warrior Dash 2011

Aunt Mandi came home and my Auntie and Uncles all ran in the Warrior Dash. It is a crazy obstacle course complete with fire and mud!  Mommy and I went to cheer them on.

Aunt Mandi kept her tiara on the whole time.

The cousins hung out while we waited for them to cross the finish line.

My Very Own Slip-N-Slide

Mommy picked me up a slip-n-slide. I have played on a couple before and had a really good time.

I haven't really gotten the hang of it yet. Grandpa tried to throw me on his slip-n-slide but I didn't think that was very fun. I just like to run down the slide and then fall on my bottom.

And I love the water that shoots up from the sides.

The Train Ride to Rockaway

So if you remember last year Mommy, Daddy and I rode the Choo Choo to Rockaway but missed the train on the way back and had to ask Grandpa to come pick us up. This year we were determined to ride the train BOTH ways.

I was so excited to ride the Choo Choo. It comes right by Grandpa and Grandma's house and I always wave to all of the people on board. Now I would get to wave to Grandma and Granpa.

It started out fun. I was hanging out, waving to people.

But then the Choo Choo went "Choooo Choooo" and it was so lound I had to cover my ears. I did not like how loud it was. Every time it went off I would cover my ears.

The conductor came by and I handed him our tickets.

We went by a lake and Daddy and I put our hands out to touch the leaves on a tree.  It was fun.

When we got to Rockaway we had a hot dog and then had a few minutes to play on the beach before we had to get back on the train. This time we made it! And we said further away from the engine so it wasn't as loud when it went "Choooo Choooo"!
