RR6: Washington DC

RR6!

All the kids watched Shrek during dinner. Two of the 4-year olds didn't make it :-)

Dinner...or chaos? Or Both?

Portland Documented

This is her trip to Portland, almost entirely shot by AKP herself. Fun perspective of the things that matter most along the way...sorry many of them are a little blurry.

Endless celebration

There's no end to the celebrations - a week or more of birthday festivities and there's been fireworks going off here for the last few hours...its Pioneer Day after all. Big celebrations. We went across the street while I neighbors lit off a bunch. Kind of fun. AKP was excited about the poppers she got to throw.

Below are some pictures from AKP's visit to Portland - Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bobby (aka you-know-what) did an excellent job - spoiling her to perfection :-)

Here's AKP with Grandma Kathy, riding Spiffy, and Uncle Eric.

Ka-Boom!

She loves ALL her birthday presents but the only one I have a picture of thus far is the Stomp Rocket (thank you Alyssa!) Below are two sequences...not bad!

Sequence 1

Sequence 2

For me??

Lots of people wanted a piece of the action

How to make the coolest city

Draw it with sidewalk chalk, then drive your cars up and down the sidewalk chalk streets, past the fire station, TV antennas, and school. So creative!

Saying "Thanks!" unprompted

Hanging at Regan and Kippy's

Cookies anyone?
