Trip to Tennesee!

We went to Tennesee and we stayed in Pigion Forge.(sorry if I misspelled it) It was so fun! We went to Dollywood on Sat. and had a blast! The best thing about Dollywood was this one show called Sha-kon-o-hey. That show was amazing!!! There was acrobats and singing and dancing it was wonderful! The best part about our trip was our hotel. We actually stayed in Sevierville. The hotel was like an old plantation home. The theme was gone with the wind. The great thing was that the pool was open 24 hours and they also had hot apple cider 24 hours. Our room overlooked the willow river with lots of pretty willow trees. If I remember correctly, I think the hotel was called the Clarion Inn. It was wonderful and I encourage you to go stay there! Our trip was great and I can't wait to go back in October!

*Starting Dance*

Two weeks ago I started back dancing for this year. I have been taking dance since I was 3. We don't dance in the summer so I was so excited to start again. This year I am taking pointe! It is my first year of pointe. The other dances that I am taking are, tap, ballet, and jazz. This year our theme is Las Vegas! Each year for our recital we have a theme and last year it was working 9 to 5. Last year in my dances I was an archaeologist, rancher, and a jewler. I don't what our dances will be for this year but I can't wait to find out!

~This Summer~

This summer was really great! We didn't do anything else really than go to base ball tournaments every weekend! But other than all the baseball it was great! My brothers team did great in all of their games. The became 5th in the nation!!! Can you believe that, 5th! We went to charelston and Atlanta for some of their games and I loved it because guess what... I got to shop!!!!! And go to the beach whenever we went to charelston. Other than that I really just stayed at home. I almost forgot!! I also got a pool this summer!!!!! :)) I love it! I can't wait until next summer though because my grandparents are taking me outwest! =))))))) I can not wait!!!!!!!!

Ugh!

I could not figure out how to do all of the background and banner things! You would think that since I know all the new teachnologies I would be able to!!! Finally, may I repeat, finally I figured it out and may I say so myself it likes ah-mazing!
