Swim Team Divisionals

This weekend was my divisional swim meet. It was against three other teams. I had a great meet! I came in third in my favorite stroke, breaststroke, and fifth in freestyle. It was so close in freestyle, my mom couldn't even tell who was first. Later that night we got to go to the swim party for our team. I got a special award for being one of the kids that earned the most points on our team. They gave me a gold medal for that. We also go trophies and a team towel. Then we got to swim in the pool at night with a DJ. It was a great party but it ended a little early because of the lightening---but I was pretty tired then anyways.

My Trip To Virginia Beach

Our first stop was at the kid's museum.  The parts that I liked the best were the bike that powered a radio and a trip into a computer.  It was a maze.  Then we went to Aunt Heidi's house for a barbecue dinner.  I loved playing on her trampoline!   

Then we got to the hotel.   It was right by the beach.  We had a perfect view from our balcony to the beach.  We slept well that night after swimming at the pool.

When we woke up we went straight to the beach.  Every single kid had a boogie board, but not me!  After lunch dad bought me and Natalie our own boogie boards to catch the waves!  Mine has a whale on it and covered with blue.  When I was surfing one wave, an extra wave came over me and I went so fast.  I yelled, "Power boost!"  

That night we took a walk on the boardwalk and we saw shells, dolphins swimming, and hermit crabs.  My whole family went on this funny bike together.  Natalie and Ryan sat in front in the baby carrier.  I sat by dad in the front.  Mom sat in back by herself.  

On our last morning, dad took me and Natalie back to the beach with our boogie boards for a little while.  That day was Fourth of July.  After our beach adventure was over we went to our cousin's house and played on the big waterslide and with water balloons.  We ambushed the boys in their clothes!  We had hot dogs and lots of soda for dinner.  We painted our nails with Caroline.

We got home late but Natalie and I looked out my window and saw beautiful fireworks from the neighbors.

My Webkinz Birthday Party

Pump It Up for Autism

My mom and dad surprised us by taking us to Pump It Up for a charity event. I played on the slides and raced mom and dad through the obstacle course. Dad beat me, but I beat mom. Being there made me remember my 6th birthday that I had there when it first opened. I can't believe that was two years ago--I'll be 8 next month!

Girl Day

Before we went to Great Wolf Lodge, mom took me and Natalie for a "girly outing." We got to go and get pedicures and manicures. And then we talked her into getting an ice cream at Pickle Bob's. I got a chocolate dipped cone and I didn't get too much on my face this time.

Field Trip to Mount Vernon

I got to play the xylaphone at my second grade program last week. The program was all about Native American Folktales.
