madison

My sister Madison or sometimes called madi went to a girl scout camp on Tuesday. she is finally coming back today! i haven't talked about her on my blog yet so here is a little description about her. she is only 3 years younger than me. we both have a birthday in December and she is very sweet even though she can get mad very easily which is why i gave her the nickname mad.

so i am really happy that she is coming home tonight.

swim team

For the past 1 1/2 weeks i have been in swimming lessons. every morning at 6:30 i go to the perry pool and start to swim. our teams name is the perry piranhas. so far i think being on the swim team is pretty fun. By the way the pictures is me at a swim meet, i came in last place.

viola

For the past year i have been playing the viola. the viola is a bit bigger than the violin and has a lower sound. i used to play the piano but when i got to fifth grade i switched to the viola. the viola has oppend up a whole lot of opportunity's for me. the picture above is me playing at a recital. that is my third recital.

Social Studies Report

A while ago my teacher wanted us to do a famous American report for the entire school to see. so after a while i chose Joseph smith. For the report i had to have 5 paragraphs on him and i had to have a big tri-fold poster. Also i had to dress up as him, well i guess not completely. But anyway today is the day it's due. so when i got to school i went to the cafeteria and put my tri-fold on one of the tables then i went into my classroom and got out a book. then my teacher told me and the rest of the class that it was time to go into the cafeteria and get ourselves ready. so about 15 minutes later kids are coming in the cafeteria and looking at the posters and asking questions, when all of the sudden some kids went over to my poster and started asking me questions but of course after they listened to me for a bit they just walked away to hear someone else. and it was like that for the next hour kids comming up, listining to me then walking away. It was fun talking to all those kids and teaching them about my person, but after the last person left we got to go into another room and have a snack and talk to each other. today so far was realy fun.

Last thursday my dad and i went on a fieldtrip to the wells fargo museam. when we got there right by the doorway there was a real stage coach! right on the top it said wells fargo & company. when we went inside the manager told us all about the history of wells fargo. when she was done she lead us through a replica of a mine shaft and showed us a replica of gold.

when we where done with the tour we got to go in a replica of a stage coach. after all that we got in the bus and went to a historical park right by the state capitol.
