Big Girl Haircut

Mama got tired of the little kiddo hair salons and last time we went to get CJ's hair cut at an a la carte place it cost a fortune.  So this time we scheduled an appointment at Mama's salon for a trim. 

They treated CJ like royalty.

Here she is modeling the new 'do afterwards:

El Zorrito

Mama again joined CJ's school for a field trip.  Today we took Max to see El Zorrito at the Children's Theater.  Lots of fun.

Beautiful Day for a Hike

Mama volunteered to join CJ's class today on a hike.  It was a beautiful day and we went into Hoyt Arboretum, more specifically Fairy Forest, for a walk and a picnic lunch amidst the fairy houses.  The kids had a great time and even passed a few sprinklers on the way out and back to make the hike more enjoyable.

Warm Mother's Day

CJ dressed up for the special occasion.

She and Daddy took me out to brunch.  

Our first choice had a line 4 people wide and a block long so we headed to another location.

After a bit of a wait and some yummy food and pastries, we went home to grab the bikes.

We joined the crowds for a Sunday Parkways ride.

We waited in a much too long line for a much too short visit in a much too warm inflatable.

CJ still enjoyed it.

CJ was starting to melt and Daddy had a plane to catch so we headed home fairly quickly.

After CJW cooled down, she walked to the store with Mama and found a new place to practice her gymnastics.

The Sun, The Sun

When the sun comes out in Portland, you have to take advantage of it.  

CJW wanted some park time so we biked to a nearby school for some playtime.

Looks like she had fun, right?

A Filling

CJ had a filling today.  Apparently one of her molars grew in a bit weak, so when they put sealants on the other 3, they went ahead and put a filling in the weak one.  The dentist went really slowly and CJ did great.

Sunset Flight

Mama had picked our flight home from San Diego to be the most direct, 

getting us home just after CJ's bedtime.

No one had planned on a light malfunction that the pilots would notice 

just as they backed the plane out of the gate.

So our full flight pulled back in to the gate and we spent the next hour in our seats

(in the very last row of the plane).

Which meant we got home pretty late.

But we did get to see a nice sunset in the air.
