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.

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.
