Vicki Childs

Amanda is ready for another adventure. She is going for a ride on the Willamette Queen, a riverboat on the Willamette River. She is welcomed aboard by Captain Chesbrough. She meets the members of the crew, explores the boat, and learns about the history of steamboats on the Willamette. She even has a chance to steer the boat. Amanda can't wait to show her "Junior Captain" certificate to her friends and tell them about her adventure.

Amanda Panda is going on a hot-air balloon flight. She arrives at the launch site in time to watch the crew spread out and inflate the balloon. With her friends, Vicki, Kathy, and Mary, Amanda climbs into the basket and sets off for a flight over Salem, Oregon. At the end of the flight, Amanda watches as the crew packs up the balloon for the next flight. She has taken many pictures, and can't wait to share them with all of her friends.
