Today we rented Ramona and Beezus to watch. But, before we watched it we just had to take a field trip to see the
Beverly Cleary statues at
Grant Park in Portland. There were only a few statues but they were great to see. Beverly Cleary, a well-known children's author is best known for her books starring a free-spirited girl named Ramona. I read all of her books when I was in elementary school and loved that it mentioned Portland in them. Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon and moved to Portland when she was in the 3rd grade. Grant Park is mentioned in several of her books and which is why in later years a statue garden was erected in honor of Ms. Cleary and her beloved characters. If you have children that enjoy Beverly Cleary's books, then take them to Grant Park and let them get a picture with Ribsy!
I love you, Ramona!
Makenzie and Henry, Don't they make a cute couple?
Chris playing fetch with Ribsy. I wonder how long it will take Ribsy to get that stick.
Everyone wants their picture taken with Ribsy!
