Around the World in 80 HOURS

:) I was just recently in a play called Around the World in 80 Hours. It was alot of fun. Between the scenes we were in, a small group of kids, including me, would sit in an extra room and tell stories. I played Maptep, an Indian dancer. My costume included huge poofy pink pants, a hot and itchy pink,yellow, and blue dress, and a thin pink coat. I had two costumes, because I was in a dance where we all had to wear a certain outfit.I loved my performance (:

Me at my Birthday Party

Last week, I turned 10. This is a picture of me with the
birds at my party.

Hippogriff, drawing

Lake Wenatchee by myself

Cold, icy water
Rippling around me
Smooth, soft pebbles
Under my feet.

Kids yelling,
Grown-ups talking,
Pleading to go out
To Emerald Island.

The plush, warm, sand
Coming down to the water
Where it is blanketed by rocks
That get mossier as they go deeper.

Happy, excited,
Being with my friends,
We want to go off,
To build a fort of driftwood.

Me in the Talent Show

bad news

Over the weekend, my friend broke her femur in 3 different places. Now she can't walk for 6 weeks and she can't do the dance with me. I have to do it solo now. I wouldn't do it at all if I didn't want to audition for the Nutcracker next year.

Talent Show

I'm doing the school Talent Show with a friend. We have choreographed a dance to "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. I am so excited! We are going to find costumes to rent. We are rehearsing the dance @ our houses and are giving each other tips. I can't wait to audition 4 the Nutcracker!

Marine Science Afloat! Best Feild Trip Ever

Today I went on a field trip out on the Puget Sound. It was awesome! We got to see this scuba diver go in the water on the 4 different television screens in the main cabin. He showed us all sorts of cool animals that lived there. We got to see a Death Star attacking a Sunflower Star (those are both types of sea stars). The scuba diver put the Death Star next to the Sunflower Star. The Death Star tried to attack, but the Sunflower Star is the fastest type of sea star ever (Really, their fastest speed wasn't even as fast as you could walk normally). The Sunflower dude easily got away. One of the workers played cool music when a sea star attacked another animal. we got to meet a baby barnacle named Barnie. We also got to watch a sea cucumber break dance away from becoming a late lunch. We also saw a sea enenemie pogo-stick off the buffet table. in case you didn't know, sea cucumbers breathe through their butt. We learned about a really cool type of plankton that glows in the dark. If you go camping near Puget Sound in the Summer & go in the water, when you come out you glow in the dark!

Baby Bird Picture

Baby Birds

In April, I found out that a bird had made a nest and layed eggs in my bicycle basket! In May, not so long ago, they hatched! The babies are so adorable! There are five of them. The mother is often gone. I try to find her on our street. I have a picture of them on my camera. I showed it to my friend. She showed her mom and said that they looked like a little choir, the way I got their little beaks all opened like that at the same time. I have posted a pic that my mom took with my dad's camera. I was earlier trying to keep it a secret, but now pretty much almost everyone who knows me knows about the birds/has seen them.
