St. Jude's

A few days ago I had a lemonade and cookie and brownie stand to raise money for St Jude's Hospital because my parents are actually taking Elizabeth and I to Memphis this year! I'm running the 5k. Total over 2 days I earned $34. It was slow, but fun.

Swing Dance

Last night I went to a swing dance party with Elizabeth, my friend Kafweeny and her family. It was for fundraising for Elizabeth's friend's musical, Little Women. We learned how to swing dance and I danced with Kathleen's brother Joe. We learned the hardest step, the pretzel. We also had a charleston contest. I didn't win, but I got pretty far. It was awesome!

The Pool

Yesterday we went to the pool with Aunt Gerri. We went down the dark yellow slide and the bright green slide. Will tried them for the first time but only liked the green slide. We also went in the lazy river and whirlpool, and went down the blue slide where you get shot out of. I did a flip off of the diving board, too! Then we went to sonic and I got a lemon-berry real fruit slush. It was so good! I had lots of fun!

Sleepover

Two nights ago I went to a sleepover at Madison's house. We swam in her pool, drew, and watched half of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ( We didn't have enough time to finish it.) I was more scared of the first one than the second, although the second was freaky. I had fun!

Dinner Party

Tonight we are having a dinner party. My dad's going to use the grill. My friend Madison and her family and Elizabeth's friend and her family are all coming over. I'm so excited!

Tracball

Last night we were playing tracball as a lacrosse game and we fought for the ball. When I tried to get the ball mom accidentally whacked me in the eye with her watch-now my eye's all puffy and red! The game was fun otherwise. I'm an idiot! I'm editing the post I wrote this morning, I completely forgot that yesterday we went to sonic and I got a lemon berry real fruit half-price slushie at happy hour. Then we went to Vlasis Park and ran around in water and played at the playground. It was awesome!

Circus Flora

Two days ago I went to Circus Flora with my friend and my family. It was so cool! They rode horses, did tightrope, trapeze, flipping, and tamed goats! The theme was Robinhood. After that I slept over at my my friend Maddy's house. I had so much fun! PS to Uncle Joe: We love tracball! That's the only thing we play these days. Thank you!

Will's Birthday

William had a great birthday! When we first woke up Will opened his Wham-o Tracball set. It's kind of like lacrosse. Then we played that a while, went to mass, and honored our father. After that, Will and dad went to the driving range while mom and I went to Dierbergs. We hung up streamers and surprised Will when he came in. Then we had QT slushies. That night our friends the Reschkes came over and we ate the Billiken cake that I made and decorated. Then we played and went to bed. It was so fun!

Branson

We had an awesome Branson vacation! My favorite part was Silver Dollar City. I rode Wildfire! There was a 65 mph 100 foot drop! We also went on a Scenic Railway, looked at a fish hatchery, and swam. Our condo was awesome! Overall the trip was THE BEST short trip ever!
