Kent Mountain View Academy's first elementary concert

 My school hired a music teacher this past fall, so we  had a Holiday Concert on December 14th.  Here I am with my good friend Seth.  My school has a little gymnasium, so it was crowed with students and parents.

 You can see me right in the middle.  I sang the only solo in the concert.  I wasn't afraid because I have been doing Improvisation for almost a year and a half and have been in one theater production-my second one will be Seussical in January of 2018.

 

 Dad took a close up.

We also played guitars.  Unfortunately, I am not very good.  I am being taught how to play one like a right-handed person.  That might be the problem...

Sabrina was there too. I really enjoyed being in the spotlight.

10th Birthday Party

This year I did something different.  I invited my two of my three best friends (The third one is Sabrina, and she is in Russia for two months.) Andy & Seth.  We started out by having Go kart races!   Seth was 10 minutes late, so Andy and I played some video games and air hokey.

 Dad decided to drive with us.

 Getting strapped in..

 And GO!!!!!!!  Andy kicked all of our butts and was definitely the fastest.  The blurry one is Andy.

 Waiting for our second race-I'm in the middle.

After go karts we had lunch and then went to the movie theatre to see Cars 3.

We got there a little early, so we got to play some video games.

It was a good party!  The three of us had a fun time.  I wonder what I will do next year.

Halloween 2016

After two years of being Slender Man, I decided to change my costume.  I wanted to be Ash Ketchum from the Pokemon XY cartoon.  Ash is a Pokemon trainer, and he and his Pikachu travel all over to care and catch other Pokemon.

 This is what Ash looks like in the cartoon.....

 and this is me.  I got my hair chalked black.  It will eventually wash out.

Dad got in on the picture taking too.

I was invited to Sylas and Tazmin's Halloween Party on Saturday.  They both looked super creepy.

At the party, I met another Ash and his Pikachu.  His Pikachu was a lot larger than mine!  Elliot was dressed as another Pokemon.

 We were able to wear costumes to school.  I got (left to right) Andy, Elliot, Evelyn, myself, Seth and a 3rd grade wizard to take a picture.

 And Sabrina.  I'm handing out candy tonight.  Because of my food allergies, I cannot eat most candy.  That's ok though.  I've never had a big sweet tooth.

More New Things

 The night of the big storm (old typhoon on the pacific), Dad and I played chess.  Fortunately the storm stayed 20 miles off the coast and did not do as much damage as expected.  We kept our power!  Chess is new for me, but I really like it.  I tell Dad to go hard on me.  Tonight I won!

On Friday I tried the Improvisation class with the Hi-Liners in Burien.  You have to be ten to be in the class.  But because I am mature for my age, I was let in at 9.  I am the smallest person there (striped shirt). Andy (best friend is in the red shirt). I was scared at first because there are 13 & 14 year olds.  Some of these kids have taken this class for years.  They are sharp and quick with what they say.  Mom says I will get there with practice.  I now do this class every week.

On Thursday, Mom came in and taught us how to paper mache a balloon.  I am working with Andy, Seth, & Evelyn.  All good school friends.

 A couple weeks ago, Dad and I went to the indoor go kart place.  I was a little scared to drive.

There I am behind Dad.

I was the slowest driver on the track, and only crashed a couple of times, but it was fun.  I am looking forward to doing it again.
