Eight.Three Years Old

 8.3 Years Old

• We got to go on your big field trip this month to the zoo. I remember going to the zoo for school when I was your age. Parker was in your group. You got to see the baby elephant!
• Mark and Kami came out to visit over Mother's Day weekend and they brought Max!!! You were so excited to have a baby in the house. It was a bit of a fight over who got to hold him. I love hearing you use your baby voice to get him to smile. You have such a sweet, nurturing heart. We took them to Silver Falls and had a relaxing Mother's Day at home, complete with a cake from Oven Lovin'.
• The school had crazy hair day (finally!!!) and we put your hair through a Ramen cup, curled the ends to look like noodles, and stuck a plastic fork in it. It was pretty funny. 
• We were able to sneak up to OMSI on a Saturday that Dad was working. They had a Lego Jurassic World Exhibit. It was incredible to so all the giant dinos made out of lego. Of course the glass elevator was a repeat and that back room with all the hands on activities is always a favorite. 
• This month was the Daddy/Daughter camping trip. This year, you all went car camping up the Mollala hills. Grandpa was able to join you and Joey fly in with Kaylana, Amelia, and Molly. You all were so excited to see Kaylana and hear all about Fritz. One day, you hiked to the top of table rock (which was 7 miles round trip). At the top of the mountain, you could get cell phone service, so Kaylana called Fritz and you each asked him a question. Your question was weird, you asked him if he liked strips or polka dots. You went mountain biking, shot guns, ate yummy foods, and made the traditional "village".
