Upcoming Suessical

I will be playing part of the Who Chorus for the Bridge School's musical in January of 2018.  Mom is making all of the costumes.

 This will be my wig.  

 This wig is Marlee's-also in the Who Chorus.

Sabrina is helping me model Mr. Mayor's wig and Mrs. Mayor's wig.

Uncle Colin, Aunt Lori, and Cousin Sophie came for a quick pre-christmas visit to Seattle.  We decided to use the Who wigs to remember the moment.

Visiting the Mid-West-Chicago

Grandma decided to stay in Minnesota, so Mom and I rented a car and drove to Chicago to visit Uncle Colin, Aunt Lori, and my cousins Jack (15), Sophie (13), & Gavin (12).  It was for only a day and a half, but I had a really good time.

 Our full day was Saturday, July 1.  We took the green line down town and we started off doing the River Walk.

 There are some crazy buildings here!

 We used a hotel bathroom that was entirely covered in little mirror tiles!

 Our main destination was Maggie Daley Park just north of the the Chicago Art Institute.  It was so much fun!  There were lots of structures to climb on.

 All with skyscrapers in the back ground.

 I hit the slides!

 The park also had water features.  This one cooled us down.

 We also went up the lighthouse.

 Uncle Colin, Jack, and Aunt Lori waited in the shade.

 We crossed the highway on the Serpentine Bridge by Frank Gehry.

 There was another park called "The Prairie"  

 We got to soak our feet in the cool water.

 After walking 5 miles, we took the Green Line back to Oak Park.  I had a lot of fun and I slept really well that night.

Oak Park, IL

 Mom, Grandma Judy, and I drove from Minnesota to Chicago to visit Uncle Colin, Aunt Lori, and one of my cousins, Sophie.  Oak Park is a really nice suburb filled with old houses and courtyard apartment buildings from the late 19th century, early 20th century.

 We walked by a bunch of Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

 and another..

 and another

 You guessed it!

 Finally we ended up by Frank Lloyd Wright's house and studio.

 

It was closed, but we peeked in the window.  This ended up being a four mile walk!  But it felt good since we spent a lot of time in the car.

Highlights from Jack & Gavin's Visit

Uncle Colin takes great photographs.  Here are pictures from his camera from the last week.....

Mt. St. Helen's- Johnston's Ridge

 The next morning we drove up to Johnston's Ridge.  It a foot hill that sits right in front of the volcano.  We had to drive to the end of Washington State Road 504.

We finally parked at Johnston's Ridge.

After these pictures we went to the interpretative center and learned more about the volcano.

On the way back, Jack got a picture with Big Foot.
