9 Years Old

 Hello! Well...it has been quite a year to say the least! I finished up 3rd grade and an looking forward to seeing what 4th grade has in store for me....but seeing how I just finished up my 3rd grade year, I am more excited about summer than thinking about next school year! 

I have a lot of fun stuff planned for the summer, including hanging out at the lake, doing some fishing and of course vacation....just a few of my favorite activities! Speaking of my favorites, here are some of my top favorite things I have did this past year:

1. My cousin, Jessica got married and I was honored to be in her wedding! The wedding part was great, but the reception was way better! The DJ played some great music, and they had all the soda you could drink! (Plus, everyone kept saying how handsome I looked in my tux!

2. I got to do some fishing which was great because the fish were eager to take my bait! I like to try different option for bait, and I can say firsthand that fish do like marshmallows, meat sticks, corn and cheese! 

3. I am still involved in dance class, and I have to say it is so much fun! This year we did 2 recitals and 1 competition. We got to go home with a 1st place trophy for our group number which was pretty cool! I think I may be ready to do a solo next year!

4. Vacations are the best part of my year! This year we took a few trips to check out views, do some hiking and of course stay at fun hotels. (My favorite part is after swimming in the hotel pool, I lay in bed and eat popcorn while watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives!)

5. Trains are still my thing...and when I say thing I mean my absolute FAVORITE thing!! Most of our trips involved checking out different train museums that I have on my "need to go to" list!

Stay tuned to as we have fun vacation to Colorado planned that we are leaving in 2 days for! I have a feeling there will be a lot of hiking, pool time and fun places to eat while there. 

Until next time,

Donovan
