water fun

It was really really hot, so we went to 

Milo Mclver park (cool name, huh?) for some water fun.

Hi, Milo!

This frog boy was so ready to jump in the water!

However, the water was way too cold to be in,

but Milo was happy enough to say hi to the camera.

Instead of swimming, Milo was...

fishing!

Lookin good, huh?

Usually we let Milo use a shorter pole and fake baits,

but today Milo tried a full set up too.

He is such a big boy now.

After fishing, they went back to the water.

It was still cold, but we had enough fun!

Cora's birthday party

We were invited to Cora's birthday party,

so Yuri made this for her, and we went to the party.

Soon after Milo arrived at the park,

he started playing with Lucius.

They played and played with holding the balloons.

Yeah, you could kick the ball higher with the balloon.

Oh, here is the birthday girl who is getting face paint (on her arm)!

Milo got his first face (arm) paint too.

Happy Birthday Cora!

Milo wanted to sit next to the birthday girl.

But Simon sat in between...

so, Milo went back to his best friend...

The friendship is the best, isn't it!?

popcorn maker

Silas got a popcorn maker on Father's Day.

Milo might be more stoked about it!

snack time

with Aki.

banana

Milo was at APAK daycare today.

They sent us this photo of their drawing time.

Can you see a banana which Milo drew???

That's a banana!

Milo played hard as always.

making an onigiri

 Milo started pretending to make onigiris (rice balls)

although we had never told him how to make them.

He was watching his mama when she was making onigiris,

and he copied her:)

indoor play

We were going to go to Air Balloon festival today,

but it was canceled due to the bad weather...

Therefore, we visited indoor play area with Lucius instead.

They seemed to have a good time anyway:)

Oregon Garden again

Yuri was actually pretty jealous Milo who went to Oregon garden last week.

Therefore, she decided to take Milo there again.

Milo showed her his favorite place...

the train garden!

He was chasing after the train back and forth.

Their children garden had lots of cool stuff to play with.

The best part could be this Hobbit house.

It was just so amazing!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

We found our new favorite place to visit.

friends visit

Nick just moved into his new house, so we visited there

to see Link,

to play at their play structure

and to meet Shoko who married to our old  time friend...

Eric who used to work with us at the camp.

(Oh he was Silas's roommate in SF too)

It was really nice to see him and his new family!

Milo was representing team Toebock:)

While Yuri was cooking a dinner...

she saw this unexpected visitor through her kitchen window...

strawberry picking

We went to Bella farm in Sauvie Island for strawberry picking.

Lots of baby pigs welcomed us and Milo was so happy to see them and feed them.

He was also really excited to see the tractor.

Lucius and Aki arrived to and it's time to go to the strawberry field!

Look at this beautiful place.

Oh yeah, Milo was just eating LOTS OF strawberries, not keeping them.

Two cute strawberry faces:

Once we hiked over this hill...

It was a beach!

Somehow, they kept jumping off the log, screaming "one, two, three, chicken!"

After we had so much fun and the children ate enough strawberries,

We packed all strawberries and boys in the wagon again

and headed back.

Of course, Milo needed to play with the pigs again...
