MEET MARCO

Newport is a very different kind of beach than I am used to.  It is quite cold there, and extremely windy.  Still, I really enjoyed running around! I also had an opportunity to fly my kite, and there was no problems getting it into the air! We went to the aquarium, which was really amazing although my mom didn’t get many pictures because I was cranky. Before we left Newport,.. Read More

Mom, Dad, and I took a trip to the Oregon coast! The drive out to Newport is a long one- nearly 3 hours- so we started off with a hearty breakfast at my favorite breakfast joint, Slappy Cakes! After breakfast, I had a full belly and I was ready to roll! The city of Corvallis is on the way to Newport, so we stopped off and visited Padgett, Eleanor, and.. Read More

It’s been a bit of a rough time for me with Soccer Shots this summer.  I had a new coach for the first time, and I really miss Coach Gina.  However, over the weeks I went from hiding and not playing at all to participating in most of the class.  I am warming up to Coach Kelly and Coach Cody.  I still won’t play in the scrimmage or do the..

Mom, Dad, and I went to Salem for the Oregon State Fair! Last year, I was very unhappy about the fair and scared of just about everything.  However, this year, I was much more comfortable and really loved seeing and petting all of the animals.  I did wear my headphones the whole time, but it helped me relax. I got to climb on a bunch of tractors and construction equipment,.. Read More

Mom and Dad signed me up for swim lessons at Sellwood pool.  This was an entire week of lessons, one each day.  I have to admit, I didn’t really want to do it.  In fact, I only went in the water two days.  But when I did, I really enjoyed it! My instructor’s name was Ben, and a girl named Stella was in my class.  There was also a boy.. Read More

It’s that time of year… my class trip to the zoo! Dad went with us as a chaperone, which was super awesome.  He got to ride the bus with me and everything! I was buddied up with Ryan, and we led the group! My class was having a super time seeing all of the animals but sometimes we needed to take a little break. We saw some pretty cool things. ..

Mom, Dad, and I have been doing a lot of gardening this summer.  Mom has been crazy picking tons of berries, but I could care less about berries.  Who wants to eat those horrible things? I do love picking all the cucumbers from the garden, although I’m not entirely convinced that I should try eating them yet! I’m also pretty excited about the peppers in the garden because they are..

I’ve done a lot of fun things with my friends this summer! My friend Isla had a birthday party, which was a blast! Lucy was there too, and we all had lots of fun playing in Isla’s backyard! Then I had a nice playdate with Isaac.  We mostly hung out in his backyard and did a little exploring and a little relaxing! My buddy Carter and I went for a.. Read More

I’m so sad to have to leave the beach.  We had such a wonderful time here.  Before leaving, we went down to the beach one more time.  There were some really beautiful sand castles there! I was so inspired that I had to make my own lovely castle! I will miss the beach, and Abuelo, Aunt Jenna, and Uncle Zak, so much!

We had a great time flying kites at Seagrove Park in Del Mar! As it turns out, I’m really good at flying kites! This one was a gift from Aunt Jenna and Uncle Zak for my dad’s birthday.  However, I think I might have to keep it for myself!
