Storytime at the library!

Every week (well twice a week) I get to go to storytime!!! We have dancing and singing and stories! I LOVEEEEE storytime!!!! Whenever we walk into the room, I start jumping up and down yelling "DANSHING (dancing)!" Daddy got to come today, so mommy was able to take some pictures! My teacher is really nice too, and I have started to follow her around!









































































































Evergreen Aviation Museum




This picture is for mommy's friend Jojo. I went over to the window and knelt down in front of the Air Force Plane. I also paid tribute to the other sects of the military, but mommy ran out of pictures!!!









So, here is the explanation...
Since I LOVE airplanes, daddy thought it would be fun to go to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in Mcminnville. When we got inside, I was SO excited I started yelling "airplane, helicopter!" Mommy forgot the digital camera, so we had to buy an old school disposable film camera, but the pictures turned out really good!!!






Mommy was trying to get an artistic sort of picture here, with the little airplane at the top of the pic. Didn't work out quite like she thought, but I still look good!









Another attempt!













I think I could stand staring at these planes all day!!!











This was something new we learned...

A Japanese airplane dropped a couple of bombs in Oregon during WWII to try to start forest fires, but it had rained so much before that the bombs just died out!









They even had a place where I could play and experience things hands on! This place is WAY more fun than mommy was trying to make it out to be!











Watch me go!!!











Okay, now how do I get this thing off the ground??? I am going to have to call mommy's friend Sarah!











WOO HOO, a helicopter!!!!















I was playing so much with the helicopter that I had a small crowd gathered watching!
















Daddy couldn't resist pushing all of the buttons in the space shuttle either!











Another career goal...astronaut!












Look how serious I am! I was really focused!













How come our seats are never this nice when we are flying?












I had to check out how safe this thing really is. Looks sturdy to me!












This is me imitating an airplane flying!














Daddy and me posing in front of a propeller!










Mommy wanted to pose in front of a prettier propeller, so she picked the one that was painted really pretty!











I kept calling this a Choo Choo, and Mommy and Daddy didn't discourage it!













We may make our space shuttles out of foil, but we are still the best country in the world!












Check out my flexing! I've been working on my shoulders!









Hey, doesn't this one belong in the zoo???
Hmmm, I guess I'll just read and find out more about this baby!

Zoo Visit!!!



So, where's the first place you visit when you go to the zoo? The diner, of course!!!! I am obsessed with French Fries now, so anywhere that has them (or not), I am willing to go!!!














Hmmm, how did mommy get in this picture??? Nope, that's not a painting in the background, that's real Oregon Countryside!











I love themed cups!














Finally, some animals! We were looking at fishies!













Spongebob would love this picture!!!












This was the polar bear cave, but he decided to walk away as we were trying to take a picture. I think he is done being a celebrity.














Look at the nice smudgies on the window. How come I would get in trouble if I mushed my poopy like this?












These warty pigs were one of my favorites. I didn't want to leave them!











There is a tiny little monkey in this picture, and nope, its not me!














Anybody got a fishing pole?












Uh oh, this eel is bigger than me! Let's go, Dad!




















Check out this pretty kitty cat! (It's in between my head and the big rock).













Hey mom, don't you think Trigger and Cleo would love having this guy as a new friend? Let's take him home!













Here is an elephant. I wasn't too enthusiastic about these guys. So what if they're big!












This elephant must be in time-out. I should teach him my trick of going to time out before you are sent!










These are some of my favorite animals...ducks! I LOVE saying "Quack Quack!"














Hey mom, where's the cameras. Isn't this Meerkat Manor??













These Meerkats were suntanning on their backs when we walked up.














Okay, so we couldn't have the kitty, but can we have one of these???












Yep, I like the fat one.













Oh wait, they are all fat!!!















Oh look, another kitty! Trigger could take him!












Hmmm, I still think we are a little to close to this guy. He kind of scares me!














Dad told me he had a tiger on his face so I would look at him to take the picture. Yeah right, dad.













This leopard came walking up to the glass when we came up, and mommy got freaked out! Good thing he went back and laid down away from us!











This is the Northwest display. It is new at the zoo, and it is awesome. Everything is open, so you are just looking down on the animals. We're still not sure how they don't escape!










This black bear looks soft and fuzzy, but daddy said if he starts climbing to run, not watch how cute he is when he climbs!













Yep, I wasn't afraid, because I am a good runner now!













This bear has a display shwlf showing his human captures. I'm glad I'm not in there!













This bald eagle was only about 50 feet away and everything was open. I am surprised he didn't come get us! It was an awesome sight!!!












This is a secret tunnel that me and daddy got to go through. Mommy had to take the long way since she had the stroller!

















Are you sure this is a good idea daddy???















Okay, if you insist!!!













Hey, this IS fun!!!














YAY, more fish!!! Here is a famous Coho Salmon or Rainbow Trout (I think).













He looks yummy!













What, I wasn't REALLY going to eat him!!!















Hey, where did the sturgeon go??? I was posing for my picture and he swam away by the time mommy took it!











I liked this little turtle. I kept following him with my hand because he would swim right in front of me!












This was SUPPOSED to be a picture of me looking at a duck diving, but it didn't work out very well!













Here's me and daddy throwing gang signs!
















Allright guys, ready to go home? This is what we drove to the zoo!














DAD, I TOLD you to put your seatbelt on! Do I have to come back there???













Allrighty, lets get this baby started then!













WOO HOO!!! Look at us go!!! We are hauling!!!
















Amazingly, this animal was the only one I was afraid of! Maybe because he wasn't caged up and mommy went walking right up to him. It took mommy a while to prove to me that this guy was just a gigantic teddy bear, and then I really liked petting him!
