MEET MARCO

the story of me

Mini Golfing

We went miniature golfing on the 4th of July, and I absolutely loved it! I especially loved the water traps. I had a few really good holes, and I even scored an eagle on one hole!  I also hit the ball into the water a lot.  This was pretty funny to me, until the hole where my ball was lost forever in the water.  Still, there were enough balls laying..

Happy 5th Birthday to ME!

I’m FIVE years old! For my birthday, Mom and I went to Boke Bowl for lunch- my favorite place! Then, we went to see the band The Ocean Blue sound check.  I might not realize that this makes me pretty much the coolest five-year-old in the entire world. The next day, I went to the zoo with Isla, Carter, and Julian.  This was instead of a party, since I’m not.. Read More

A Timbers T-2 Game

I’ve been really hesitant to go to a Timbers game because of all the noise and cheering.  However, Mom and Dad convinced me to go to a T-2 game, which is the second-tier Timbers players.  I really loved the game… until the Timbers scored.  Even though the crowd was small, there was still cheering and I didn’t like that.  Still, I coped ok. I might go to another game at.. Read More

Zoo Trip with Carter and Julian

I went to the zoo with Carter and Julian.  It was pretty empty since it was a cold day- which was just fine with me! We went to see the new red panda, Mei Mei.  However, she was being shy and we only saw her tail.  Still, we had a fantastic time!

Just Me and Mom

Dad went back to California to hang out with Nanny for a bit, so Mom and I were on our own.  I got a spiffy new haircut… And then we went to Bob’s Red Mill for brunch.  YUM! The next day was Mother’s Day, and although Mom had some plans, I thought she would enjoy going to OMSI more.  I’m not sure if that was actually the case, but at.. Read More

Mt Tabor with my Buddies

I went for a hike with my best buds, Carter and Julian.  What fun! Mt. Tabor is a pretty awesome place where we can run around and explore nature. We climbed a lot of stairs and even found some treasure! My mom found that getting a picture with all three of us was pretty difficult, but she managed these ones and feels pretty good about it.

A Kind of Sad Trip to So Cal

We are all feeling pretty sad because Pappi passed away.  We are going to miss him a lot and I’m not sure exactly what it all means, but I do know now he is not in pain or suffering. We went to California to visit Nanny.  Of course, I always love a good plane trip. Abuelo ended up coming to California as well to celebrate Pappi’s life with us.  Since.. Read More

The LEGO Exhibit

We went to the LEGO Exhibition for the second year in a row.  I know think that the Oregon Convention Center is simply a LEGO museum!  Dad and I made LEGO vehicles and raced them.  We didn’t win this year, but that’s ok.  It’s all about having fun.

Evergreen Air and Space Museum…Again!

My mom and dad figured out that our zoo membership allows us to visit the Evergreen Air and Space Museum for free one month out of the year.  So, we met up with the Arangos and went again!  It was fun exploring with Persephone. I had a great time, but on the way home we stopped at a rock store.  Now THAT was awesome! Mom and Dad let me get.. Read More

Drum Lessons

Did you know that I am a really good drummer?  But even good drummers can get better, so my parents signed me up for drum lessons.  My teacher’s name is Timothy.  We use electronic drums, which are really cool because they are not too loud. I look forward to learning more and becoming a really GREAT drummer!
