We went out to Texas to visit Nanny & Pappy, on Friday, May 24th and came back Tuesday, May 28th.  We had such a good time and an action-packed trip!  We went to Urban Air, where you all of a sudden became super-brave!  You were rock-climbing, rode on the ‘Sky Coaster’ – which was like a Zip-line type of ride that took you around the entire building.  I was so surprised you did that!  And you were so proud of yourself!  We also went to the local waterpark and went swimming, rode the waterslides and the lazy river.  We went on a couple of nature walks.  We had a picnic at night by the lake and walked around in the dark looking for fireflies, which we ended up seeing a TON of them!  We went and watched a movie, Aladdin, in the super-nice luxury movie theater with reclining chairs!  We saw Auntie Gloria and Charles as well and ate dinner with them.  And most importantly, you got to spend a lot of quality time with Nanny and Pappy!  🙂

Field day was on Friday, May 24th, 2019.  Field day is a day that is dedicated to playing games and winning prizes! Your school did such an incredible job of setting up carnival games outside, and a huge variety of prizes you could win.  And you won a lot!  I was there with you the whole day and had so much fun!  There was also a petting zoo, carnival food, bounce-houses, and many other fun things!

On Friday, May 17th 2019, you had a sleepover with your friend Alex!  I just found out after talking to her Dad that they live >5 minutes away on the other side of the park.  You had become really good friends with her at school, and now given the closeness of our houses, you girls have been playing a lot together!  Both of you are so similar it’s really funny.  From the high-squeaky voices to the silly dances, you are very much alike.  You had a blast with her when she slept over.  Movies, games, facial-masks and beauty spa, home-made pizza, pillow-fights, bubble-baths, you girls did a lot!

Also on Saturday, May 4th 2019, two of your friends had birthday parties!  Reagan L. and Maddison Grieves both had birthday parties at Lost Worlds in Livermore, CA.  That is a fun place that has a giant playground, arcade, laser tag, miniature golf, and pizza!  We took your friend Aviana with us to both parties, and she came back to our house to play in between the two.

One of your extra-curricular this year at school was the Running Club again.  You meet every Thursday after school and run laps on the track outside.  This is all to train for a real race when the Running Club is finished.  Last year you were in the running club, but did not go to the race.  This year you did go to the race!  You were really excited about it, but not quite sure what to expect in terms of how well you would do, or if you would win.  You kept telling me that you hoped you win 🙂  I wasn’t sure either because the race was 1.8 miles long!  Pretty long distance for a 7 year old.  But, you did so well!  You finished in 3rd place and won a medal!  I was so proud of you, and more importantly you were SO proud of yourself!  I really loved seeing that.  You won a medal and had it awarded to you in front of all your friends at the end of the race!
