Last weekend we went to Oaks Park Amusement center with Maya and had tons of fun! You couldn't tell it from this picture of course. But I swear this train ride was full of smiles, waves, and Cheetos.
Very frightening shot of Ezra the dragon rider! He has however decided that the merry-go-round is boring. He is at the age when the 'little kid' rides are too boring but he's not quite brave enough for the next step up.
Maya, posing on Violet (that's what she named the kitty cat).
I don't like this ride so much. So Ezra is shooting from the front at the kid that's in front of him who's shooting back from his rocket, and Maya's shooting from the back at the kid that's behind who's also shooting back from his rocket. Children riding in circles shooting at each other. Not so much.
They loved this one! The speed boats go up and down and around and around. They'd get off, exit, and get right back in line to get on again. They rode on it at least ten times.
Ezra, the concerned driver and Maya, the oblivious navigator. Oh and I guess they're driving in England?
I did go on this ride with them (twice) which left me feeling ill. It's a hot air balloon and it goes up up up and the wheel in the center makes it go around around around.
So determined to make his mama sick.
Another day we went to Oswald West park on the coast with Nikkie. It was a lovely day, which is somewhat rare on the Oregon coast. Nikkie brought her kite and Ezra got to be quite the expert!
He also got very good at slicing cheese. He said, "I sliced enough to share with everyone."
This shaggy carpeting on the rocks (moss) is very slippery.
Love the sunset at the beach.
Nikkie took Ezra climbing and tide pooling, allowing me some time to relax, watch the sunset, and take pictures of myself.
On the way home we stopped at the DQ and finished off a fabulous day with some cheeseburgers, french fries and dilly bars.
Btw I know I really need to take some pictures of Ezra's new kindergarten class and write something about it. I missed the boat on the first day pictures, but Ezra was kind of nervous (so was I!) and he hates having his picture taken so I made the executive decision to forgo that tradition this year. But I will snap some shots soon I promise! I will just say that he is enjoying kindergarten very much, "It's lovely!" he says, and he's made some new friends, learned how to make bread and soup, and how to fold a blanket.
