Sunday, we went to church and then to Bonneville Dam’s Fish Ladder but the fish weren’t really running yet. We only saw one. Then off to Char Burger for lunch.

Learning To Ride A Two-Wheeler
Noah’s knees were hitting the handlebars on his previous bike so we decided to get him a new bike and teach him how to ride without training wheels, as all of his friends can ride a two wheeler.
He was able to ride for 5-10 seconds within his first couple of days but we need a bigger space and some more nice weather for him to be able to really ride on his own. However, he is on his way!
Evergreen Air & Space Museum
We wanted the kids to have something fun to do during Spring Break so we decided to finally go to the Evergreen Air & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon to see the Spruce Goose.
The entrance fee is a little spendy but it’s worth it. The Goose is impressive. Its wings (largest wingspan ever built) reach from one end of the museum to the other with all of the other planes fitting around it. The Space Museum is excellent as well showcasing models of the lunar lander and the Titan Rocket used to launch the Apollo missions, as well as tracing the timeline of our journey into space.
We also saw the Space Station 3D IMAX movie. I think Noah is less inclined to pursue being an astronaut at this point, having gotten a close up view of life as a modern astronaut. Not exactly Buzz Lightyear.
Orange Belt Graduation
He had to do his focus form (aiya, in, down, pushdown, sir) and his escrima stick form (strikes 1-8).
He now begins working toward his purple belt.
