Patriotic Speech

Our school district does a patriotic speech contest every year in two divisions. Fifth and sixth grade and seventh and eighth grade. First you have to beat everyone in you class.Which I happened to do. Then you have to beat all the people in you division to go on to the district competition. Which I did. So yes....I won the fifth and sixth grade patriotic speech contest at our school. The district competition is on May 3d, so I will post after that.

Sedona Day 5

Today was our get out of the villa day. We went on an awesome hike at Doe Mountain. It was really nice. Elyse and I stopped along the way to climb some rocks. I also found some snow and threw a snowball at a couple of trees. Then when we got on top of the Mesa we walked around. Then we began our descent down the mountain. After that we went on a "hike". (It was more like a walk)

Sedona day 4

Today we didn't do that much. We just hung around at our resort. The reason we stuck so close to the resort is because there was a class on how to make dream catchers. It was really fun! I didn't know how long it was going to take but I wasn't expecting it to take 2 hours!!! I was really happy when we were done. Like I said it was fun and all but 2 hours is a long time to sit and do something.

Sedona Day 3

Sledding was fun until we changed slopes. When we were on slope 1 we had our sled. I also went on my stomach. When we changed slopes someone let us use 1 of their sleds. I went first on it. I went right into a snow drift. It was really cold and wet. My gloves got wet and it sucked. But I kept going. Then I got snow in my shoes and from there it went downhill.(No pun intended) Then we left and we went to Starbucks.

Sorry about the highlighter.

Sedona Day 2

Today when we woke up it was snowing. Elyse and I went out and played in the snow every so often. All day it snowed off and on. Later that day Elyse and I went to the clubhouse and got our face painted. Elyse got a big butterfly on her face and I got a mouse on my hand and I panda on the other. Then we all went to Starbucks at the Hyat.(Which is where we stayed a few years ago) Then we went to Schnebly and explored.

Sedona day 1

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile.

When we woke up it was snowing and had been snowing. It was so pretty. Elyse and I got in our snow stuff and went outside. Then mom came out and we built a snowman. It snowed off and on all day. Elyse and I went out to play in the snow every so often. Then we went for a walk. Later that day we went to the hot tub. But other that that we didn't do much. Later that night Elyse and I went to a native American flute concert. It was very interesting.
