Carnival!

The carnival was such a big success! It was supposed to be on Tuesday the 22nd, but since it was so rainy, we changed the date to the 24th! At one time we must've had at least forty kids there at once! Two news stations came, and I talked on one, and the other main organizer, Madi, talked on the other! How did we come up with the idea? Well last year we were all really bored, and actually, the BOYS came up with it! We all thought of games and stuff, and then we put it into action! It was such a success last year, so we decided to do it again this year! Last year we raised a little over 60 dollars, and this year we raised a little over 85 dollars! Last year we were going to give it to TAPS, but then the disaster in Haiti happened, and we donated it to them. This year, we are donating to TAPS. My mom is taking Madi and I to go deliver the money next week! I would like to thank all the neighbors who helped with this, and Madi's mom, for letting us use the yard. I'd also like to thank Hannah and her mom, for donating the prizes! Also, my fifth grade teacher, for donating some extra prizes too! I'd also like to thank Megan, for letting us use some of her stuff, and helping out a BUNCH! Thank you everyone, it was such a great success, we couldn't have done it without you!

Summer Meet Time! :D

Finally! An outdoor meet! Oh and by the way, Happy Father's Day to any dads out there! Especially happy father's day to mine, though. He's amazing! I LOVE YOU DAD! :D

Anyway, this weekend was a lot of fun. It was an outdoor meet, not indoor, but man was it HOT! On Friday I swam: 200 free (gained:p) 200 IM (dropped and got a really good time!) 1500 (got my goal time!)

On Saturday I swam: 50 free (Got my same time but won the event) 100 breast (Gained:p) 100 back (dropped and got third!) 50 fly (dropped!)

On Sunday I swam: 100 free (dropped and got third!) 50 breast (dropped!) 100 fly (dropped!) 50 back (dropped!)

I don't know the places for all the events, I only positively know the ones I told you. I do know, however, that I got second overall and got a high-point award!! :D This was a great meet, I do have to say! I had a blast hanging out with friends I hadn't seen in a while, and also just swimming was fun! I really liked the pool. The only bad part was that my dad couldn't be at the meet today. :( He got sick! Ewh! But he's better now! Well yep, that's all for now! The carnival is coming up, tomorrow we're making sure everything is set, and then Tuesday we're outside at 9 to set up and be ready by 11! :D Thanks for reading!

Summer Carnival!

Yes, it's that time again, our annual Summer Carnival is coming up soon! This year, it's patriotic themed. Face painting and prizes are patriotic themed. Just some of the face painting though. Like the smiley can be regular or patriotic. And we have American Flags, for face painting, and a lot of other stuff! I would like to thank my friend Hannah, and her mom, for giving us the huge, and I mean HUGE, bag of prizes for this carnival! It's really spectacular, there are so many things in the bag!! This year, we have new games! One game, though, is really different! It's not really a game, but still. It's a Nerf War! If you want to be part of the Nerf War, you have to have the following:

Over the age of 6

Your own Nerf Gun, and Nerf Darts

An extra 25 cents

If you want to attend the carnival, please contact me and I can give you all the details! Everyone is so excited! Thanks for reading! :)

Swimmeeeeet!:)

Over the weekend I had a swim-meet! It was a lot of fun! My team didn't go, though. :( But I got to hang out with all my friends from the other teams! That was a lot of fun!! I did good, in practically all my events. I swam the 800 for the first time, and I won my heat! :) I also got a really nice time. I swam some events I don't usually get to swim, which was pretty cool. The meet was just fun overall, and I did good overall too! I swam open, not 11-12, so that I didn't have to get up super early in the morning, and drive for two hours and be there by 7:30. So I swam open to swim in the afternoon. Soo... yep! We have another meet in two weeks too! But this Saturday, is our first long course practice! And one of my best friends, Maggie, is coming back from Japan! All my friends are really excited to see her again! YAY!

Anyway, sorry it's so short, and sorry I didn't post in a while, Blogger was down for a while :(. Thanks for reading!
