Gameface at Buckman

Buckman park break!

Mmmmwhaaah!

Francesca made these pillows for mommy!

We names them Rose and Lilly. Lilly is the little one and we decided Francesca will cuddle with that one and I will cuddle with Rose. She made them at Grandma Ellen's and kept it a surprise for me. So, so sweet...

It was so great we only took two pictures!

This is us with Lewis & Clark and the main Seaside drag in the background.

It's a party all day long!

Wheeee!!!

It is indeed a happy day.

Daddy got a Fitbit! What a surprise!!

The Flash T-shirt was Blaize's present to Daddy.

Happy Birthday Daddy Scott!!

Make that TWO scary lizards!!

This is a scary lizard.

Wish you were here!

Wonder Twin Powers: Activate!

This is how the West was won...

Francesca on the Dragonhorse...so exciting'

This is the friendliest Dragonhorse ever.

Carousel break! Blaize got the Dragonhorse!

Francesca is skeptical of the orangutans.

It was fun while it lasted.

Let us out! We are not small enough mammals for this exhibit!

Francesca "the Rose" Frost Trahan

He's mommy's little froggie!

Did you know this about sea otters?

They have the warmest fur of any mammal. In an area the size of a penny there can be up to 300 thousand strands of hair, the Zoo worker told us. The fur is super soft.

It's almost like being an Octonaut!

Yee haw- gotta love these kids ...

And now, we're at THE ZOO!!!

SPRING BREAK!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA! Wish you were here!

Suh-WHEEET!

Cupcakes, by Francesca

This gorgeous smarty-pants is making cupcakes with Daddy.

Francesca got suddenly overcome with missing Uncle Francis

We found a bracelet of grandpa Francis' during some spring break cleaning, which led to talking about uncle Francis, which is what preceded this speech...

RE: BFFs on Spring Break, 2015

Thanks so much for watching April yesterday--she had a great time!

It goes without saying, we were sad to have to leave the llama ranch.

Blaize and the llamas

He was not into the llamas at all, inscrutably. He had a great time at the farm regardless (nature!) (how many times can we praise it?) and found a worm which we attempted to feed to Michelangelo, the turtle. Michelangelo was not quite done hibernating however, and was impervious to the charms of the wriggling edible before him...

Llamas. Are. Awesome. Btw.

Whoops, actually THIS one is Fonzie...

The brown one in the previous post is Sonny. The Frost Trahan blog regrets the error.

Don, April and Francesca with Fonzie

Fonzie, as in The Fonz, from Happy Days... Heeeeeyyyyy....

We went to Don Berg's friend Joyce's Llama ranch!

Lovelies leading llamas... Technically it's a Y sound in llama but who's counting!

Buddies at the Forestry Discovery center

Ready to go to the Llama Farm in West Linn!

BFFs on Spring Break, 2015

This face? oh you want a picture of this face, do you?

And this masterpiece from Blaize- don't look, Nana!

I think it captures a wild, vibrant aliveness that is very much part of Nana Brooke.

Nana's birthday spoiler alert

This is among the pictures going in the mail today. (March 27 is the big day.)

I am, how do you say, a character.

Selfie? Here's my selfie.

Blaize is sad to say goodbye to mommy at L'Espoir

I've said it once, and I'll say it again...

SPRING BREAK!

Ah, nature...

Hangin' out at the Discovery Center

Two sweeter train passengers there never were

Mmmmwhaaah!
