I am finaly done with school. Not only am I done with school but I am done with elementary school.After 6 years of hard work I am done with hillcrest elementary. I wonder what middle school will be like?Well I've recovered from the tri and I'm almost pumped up to do another one.

I just barely finished my first triathlon . My friend and I did a tag tram but we only had to do 2 things. We both did both of them.We did a bike a bike section which was 12 miles long.Then we ran a 5k.By the end we were exhausted. Right now I want to fall asleep and never wake up. It was hard because we were competing against adults so we got last place which technicly is firs place in our division since we were the only kids there. I think it was really fun except when you get side aches.

Mexico

So on my last post I forgot to go into detail about Mexico so here it is. First we went to Phoenix like I told you . After that we drove down. It was only about 4 hours so I didn't take anything to do in the car. We ended up leaving a little late so we got there when it was late. We never got to see the view that night. We had a delicious dinner then we played a game called bananagrams. It was a speed scrabble and it was so hard playing against Abe. He kept winning. Then everybody went into teams. I ended up being with Abe so I was super happy. We won almost every single game.When we all woke up the next morning we almost fainted.There was a beautiful ocean in front of the house that we were staying in. We went o through the day relaxing and having fun. We played Trivia Pursuit after that . After that we went to the market and I got some turtles for me and my best friend Brian.The next day we had to leave and so we went out to eat for lunch. My dad took me with him outside to the market and got me a nice blue blanket. Well that's pretty much Mexico. Oh! I forgot Sarah got stung by a sting ray it was crazy.

We are just ending a huge vacation and it has been awesome.First we came here to Pheonix to play around for day.Then we went to Mexico for three days.After that we came back here to play around. Today is the last day we're going to be here. We went to5and Diner a really good restaurant then we went to the Arizona Mills. We also went swimming. I have had a really good vacation.

Disneyland !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to Disneyland for part of our trip at California! It was so fun ,Rocky and I went on almost all of the rides. But right when it was our turn to go on Thunder mountain they shut it down, we went to splash mountain instead. It was my first time on all of the roller coasters and that stuff .I loved Indiana Jones it was so fun. I also went on Pirates. Space Mountain was sooooo cool.Me and Naomi loved peter pans flight and toads wild ride. We also went on the dumbo ride and the rockets.
I love how on Indiana Jones you are in a jeep and you get to go on a track. There are spiders and bugs crawling on the wall and there are really cool things around you. The last thing on it you see Indiana Jones hanging on a rope in front of you and a huge ball starts rolling towards you and all of the sudden you go down into a pit.We ate at the hungry bear. Me and Naomi got something called a kids pack. It is the strangest thing ever. It has apples,a drink,goldfish, cheese,and yogurt.My mom and my dad said that we could get a souvenir so I got a Mickey Mouse shirt.So I think Disneyland is one of my favorite theme parks.

Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is one of the things I made in pottery class, it was really fun to make other stuff too!


This is another one we made too. We would take fake leaves and stuff and then glue them on.
This was one of my favorites. We take sharp sticks and cut out pedals and stick them on.

Here is me in the Cache Valley Century.

Me and Naomi at Tony Grove.


So for the summer I've been hangin out at the shop all day until 1 then I go to art camp. It's really fun you get to do Pottery , Art, Cooking , music, and dance .At the end of the two weeks we do an art show they display everything and we get to perform too. Other than that I've been playing with friends and going to the skate park. I think next month I'm going to do some Science camps. So lately I've had an interest in Human Anotomy and as I'm only nine my friends don't even know what it even is. Well I'm thinking I'll have a good summer.

Saturday's Races

So on Saturday I did my two races. Of course they were both muddy and sloppy, but they were both great. The first one I did was the Sherwood Hills. That was the one that I won last year. I guess the people who were in charge were up there shoveling snow for like a week! This year I was in the ten to twelve group. Last year my time was the time of the ten to twelve group winner doing two laps, I only did one. So at the finish line we were all ready , all of our hearts were racing. When the guy said go I was off. The guy said we should only do 5 laps even though we were supposed to do 6. I started off really slow and not very good. We started off on a hill s it wasn't that easy. Me and another guy's pedals clipped together. After the hill you would turn right. From there on it downhill switchbacks. On the third lap I passed big herd of people. That put me in third. On the final lap I passed one more person that put me at second.

I kept it up for the entire race. I finished in second and I was standing on the podium. On the second race I did the health days it was a ten mile race with lots of snow I finished first out of all of the kids. I won a lantern and had a great time. So by the time me and my dad were muddy and drenched. I had a great day even if I was soaked and my legs hurt.
