The Last and Final Swim Meet

Today was my last and final swim meet, the Charlie Hartley Memorial Silver Championship Meet in NJ. On the way there, I made a list of things I need to remember so I would do well. 

I would also like to thank Mrs. Barber for wishing me luck in an email to my mom. It seemed to work, because I improved my time in every event! 

After the meet, we had to take my swim buddy Lisha home, but Mommy and Daddy decided to take us to Friendly's to celebrate the good season that we both had.  The food took a while to come, so I was happy that Lisha was there to play cowboy (kind of like those patty cake games that you do with your hands). Friendly's with my family and Lisha was a lot of fun. Lisha and I were SOOO full at the end! 

Have a great weekend everybody!

HAPPY PRESIDENT'S DAY

I have no school today and Mommy has the day off,  so Daddy decided to take the day off too. Since it was such a nice day out, we decided to go hiking at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge.  We didn't see much wildlife except for a few birds, but it was still fun spending time with Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy.  We will have to go back in the spring when there is more to see.

           
Afterwards, we stopped at Thunderbird Pizza in Springfield and ordered a large Upside Down pizza and a 2 liter bottle of coke for lunch.  An Upside Down pizza is a Thunderbird specialty with provolone cheese on the bottom and tomato sauce on top. I never had an upside down pizza before but it was deeeeeeeeeeeelicious!  

My Lucky Run

     Today was my lucky day! I was running with my mom this afternoon, and on the way home, I spotted a $1 bill! Actually, we both spotted it, but my mom grabbed it first because she was closer to it. Luckily, my mom is such a generous person that she let me have it. 

     When we got done, my dad had just gotten home from work and he wanted to go running too.  He begged me to go run with him, so I ran AGAIN! I ended up doing 4 miles instead of 2.  

I hope you all are having a Spectacular Saturday!

Secret Art Project

Right now, I am working on a secret art project. I'll give you a hint: it has to do with dinosaurs. I will post a picture of it when I'm finished, but for now it's going to remain a secret. Have a spectacular Superbowl Sunday!
