Blueberry Picking

We went to Sauvie Island to pick blueberries today. Stanley did a great job of picking his share of berries. He didn't even want to stop! He told me that all the berries he picked were for making blueberry pie. In the end, he picked 1 1/4 pounds!

South Perry Camping Vacation

 Stanley went on his first camping trip! We went to South Perry Campground on Lake Billy Chinook in central Oregon. It was a very secluded campground that required driving on 30 miles of gravel forest service roads. Our first day there, we even saw a rattle snake! The vacation got much less adventurous after that, but it was fun and relaxing. Stanley loved playing in the dirt!

Oaks Park

Stanley has been enjoying preschool days at Oaks Park, a local amusement park. He loves riding rides, even the Tilt-A-Whirl and the small roller coaster! When the rides end, there is a story time with Chipper along with milk and cookies.
