Titanic on French Horn

The Titanic theme song is one of the songs that I am working on. I think I still need more practice.

Happy Birthday Coach Tara!

Today is Coach Tara's birthday.  The whole team celebrated her birthday with cupcakes and singing Happy Birthday to her before practice this morning. Our team mascot is a dolphin.  So, I painted this picture on canvas and I made a video of me playing the French Horn for her.

Spectacular Sunday

This Sunday, I did a kiddie triathlon. It was a lot of fun! A triathlon is when you swim, bike, and run all in one race.  We had to swim 4 laps, bike a mile, and run half a mile. At the end when they announced the winners, I was so sad when they announced 3rd place, then 2nd place for the 9-10 year old girls and I wasn't one of them, because I was pretty sure that I didn't get first. But then the announcer said, "And 1st prize goes to.......... CC (she didn't actually say CC, she said my real name) !" I was so excited! My prize was a GIANT yellow frisbee and a really cool bright red pedometer! A reporter even interviewed me and took my picture for the paper! I can't wait to do this again next year!

Funday Monday

Since we did so good at our last meet against the Knowlton Swim Team, Coach Tara let us have a Funday Monday at practice today! We have had a lot of fundays in the past, but today was the best! A funday is when all we do are games or fun stuff at practice. Today, we did "snakes." Snakes are when you swim a lap of something, then go under the lane rope and

swim something back in the next lane. Then you go under the next rope and repeat. The things we swim in snakes are usually really fun things like doggy paddle, dolphin dives, and Tarzan. We even danced across the pool for one of the laps. We also got to get on the waterslide and jumped off the diving board which we never get to do at regular practice. At the very end, we did a 300 (12 laps) medley relay. My lane got second.

Thank you coaches for such an awesome practice!

Delicious Rollerblading

Yesterday, my mom and I went roller blading! It was a lot of fun! I can go pretty fast but I still have trouble stopping. As we were rolling by, I saw some ladies picking raspberries from a nearby bush. Soon after that, my dad came to meet us on his bike. We both love raspberries so we decided to pick some. Well, my dad didn't do any of the picking. It was just my mom and me getting pricked by the sharp thorns on the bush. We managed to get a lot of raspberries even without my dads help (see below). I can't wait to go rollerblading again!

My Latest Canvas

In summer art class, I did this painting on canvas. I call it Sunset in the Meadow. It took about 3 classes to finish and it sold in less than a week!

French Horn Lessons

Last week, I started French Horn lessons! It is a lot of fun! The French Horn is a pretty hard instrument but I like that because it gives me a goal to do better. What I don't like is how heavy it is! I'm glad that mommy carries it for me! Doggy would me great at French Horn, if she could only open her mouth! 
My teacher, Mr. Fein is also very nice! He is fun and encouraging and an awesome musician. Check him out on the sax at: http://www.feinmusic.com/michaelfein/Movies.html 
I also learned how to play a couple songs such as: Hot Cross Buns, Down by the Station, part of Titanic, and a couple more! I can't wait for my next lesson!
