We Got A Nintendo Switch!

It’s been a while since I actually got it, but on Friday the 28 of April we went to Best Buy and got a Nintendo Switch. It’s the coolest gaming system ever! We also bought Lego City Undercover which is a really fun, exciting police videogame. My sister, Rilla, and I are planning on getting more controllers, a traveling case with a screen protector, and more games! 

On Tuesday, we went on a field trip with Mom. It was a blast! The first place we went was the bank in Snohomish and then the one in Everett to deposit checks. Other than the bank, we dropped off a DVD at the Arlington library and then the real trip began! Destination: Skagit Valley Historic Museum. There were a lot of cool and interesting facts and artifacts, such as an old buggy, bios about WWII, and a patriotic phone! After the museum, we got ice cream at the CO-OP (shhh... don’t tell anyone), and saw the tulips blooming in Mt. Vernon. So, to sum it all up, it was a great trip!

                                                                                  

Heading out Selfie!!

We found a new friend in La Conner.

In the Skagit Valley Historic Museum. First phone in the valley!

Heading to our reward--ice cream. 

Daffodils and tulips on the way.

Where Did You Learn To Dance?

   

Say hello to the Hill Creek Talent Show 2016 runner ups, Colin and Emma Brenchley! Whoop, whoop! Considering we put this tap piece only several days before, I'm pretty proud the two of us. The 2nd place prize was a $100 gift card to Amazon, but we haven't decided what we're going to spend it on yet. =) The song we used was from the 1953 movie I Love Melvin starring Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, our favorite old-time Hollywood duo.

Here is a picture of us in our final pose.

And here's our dance.

Four years ago today was my last post. How crazy is that?!

Rilla: Pre Pointe Perfection

Every Monday I head over to PacWest Performing Arts for ballet and pre pointe classes. 2 hours total!!

On January 6,  I finally got demi pointe shoes. The difference between pointe and demi pointe is that demi pointes do not go over the toes, and allow the dancer to gradually build up muscle for pointe shoes.

Here they are:

I had to stitch on the elastic and the ribbons (with some help from Mom).

SHS Swim Team Award Banquet

Hardest Worker

Last Wednesday, the high school had its award banquet for its swim team. Where they give out awards, eat food, and gather the last time as a team for the season. For the awards I was voted by my teammates as "Most inspirational," "Hardest Worker" and also was elected captain. Here are a few pictures of this exciting event.
