Last Day of School!!

What time is it? Summertime! It's my vacation!!

I finished another year of school! Woo Hoo!

Emma and I are so excited for Summer Vacation!

Mrs Pierce is the best teacher in the world! I am so lucky because I get to have her next year as well. She loved her class so much that she requested to move up with us! YEA!

After I got home, I started my summer vacation with a dip in the pool, Fabulous-style, with Joey as my companion! He's slightly bigger than a pocket puppy but he loves to swim!

I topped the day off with dinner out at my favorite Italian place, Terranova's, and then home to enjoy my Edible Arrangement!! YUMMY!

A trip to the Zoo!

Our school had a field trip to the zoo today! It was so fun! We got to make our own t-shirts to wear to the zoo, and we got to ride a train, a carousel, and see lots of animals! These are my friends, Arianna and Emma.

I love the flamingoes!

The macaws are beautiful!

This girl giraffe posed for pictures for about 5 minutes! She was so funny!

This was a bumpy ride! Our camel's name was Dude! He was a good guy!

Strawberry Picking!

One of my favorite May traditions is to pick strawberries at the berry farm! These strawberries make the grocery store berries taste like plastic! They are so good!

I make sure I taste test a lot of them before I pick them!

Here is our haul this year! I can't wait to eat them all!

First Sleepover at the Lake House!

I had my first sleepover at the Lake House with my friend, Jade. We had the best time! We got to ride on the boat, the jet skis and the tube!

We made a roller coaster ride on the hammock, Dad was our first victim, I mean passenger. The broom is the safety bar in case the ride goes upside down!!!

Jade demonstrates how she eats a popsicle!

We had such a good time together! I can't wait to have more sleepovers at the lake house!

Unfortunately I can't have any with Jade, she is moving to Germany, but Mom and Dad say that I can visit her there!

Hazel comes to visit me!!

My baby cousin Hazel came to visit me last weekend and it was so fun! Hazel is so cute, she has the cutest little toes and ears, and she is so smiley and fun to play with!

Hazel checks out the pool and her new crab float! She loves the water as much as I do. I think she gets it from her parents.

We went to the Botanical Gardens and I got to pet a few dinosaurs! These dinosaurs look alot more realistic than the dinosaurs at Dinosaur World in Kentucky, which I make Mom stop at when we drive to Indiana.

Hazel got pretty worn out looking at all the sights, so she had a quick nap.

You can get out of the time-out chair when you can behave, Uncle Glenn!

I am so glad that Aunt Megan and Uncle Glenn brought Hazel to visit me! I can't wait to see them again!

The Big One!

Look what I caught last weekend! I caught two catfish and one bass at the lake house! I was fishing with my friend, Eli! After the photo shoot the fish were released, to go home to their fishy families and tell them of their adventures!

Skiing in Steamboat, Colorado!

Ok, finally the ski pics are on the blog! We all had a great time in Steamboat! The big news was that I became a level 5 skier and was able to use poles for the first time! I was so excited to try them out, mostly I liked doing stunts like putting the poles on my head, like antlers, or swinging them around!

Here I am skiing down a blue run with my poles in action, note my good ski form!

A snack at the top of the chairlift is a must when you ski all day and don't break for lunch! Chocolate and Gatorade are good for energy and staying hydrated! They also make me ski faster down those runs!

Here I am at the top of the gondola. We take a few pictures here every year. This year, Mom says I look taller and like a big kid, that's because I am a "tween" now, at least in attitude.

Here's Mom and me skiing down a blue. We skied mostly blues this year, and only went on greens for a break or to get from one blue to another. We even tried a black diamond.

I love going on the bungee bouncy at the bottom of the hill. I go on it every year. It feels like I am flying and the people look like little ants! I like to shout and scream with joy when I am up there!

Look, I am up in the clouds! I'm flying!

See how high I go! I am as high as the buildings! It is so fun!

Here's our annual family picture. We love our ski trips!
