The rest of winter 2018

2018 so far has been normal.  In February, Mom and I had tickets to see "Hamilton".  Mom and I went to a Sunday afternoon show at the Paramount.  We both really enjoyed it.

Just last week I tested for my blue belt in Hapkido.  I am looking forward to learning harder material.

I am now an intermediate belt for this martial art.  It took me a year and a half to work up to this achievement after switching from Goju Karate to Hapkido.

5th grade at KMVA had a field trip to the Seattle Zoo.  I skipped the school bus ride with my peers because Mom and I drove up in the Subaru.  We stopped by our favorite Gluten Free Vegan bakery in Fremont-The Flying Apron.  I can eat almost anything from there.  It feels nice.

 Here I am with my team, Gracie & Victoriya.  We were making observations in the wetlands area.

Before we got back on the bus (accept me), we took a 5th grade photo.  It was a fun field trip.  Unfortunately, I became ill for almost a week after our adventure in early February.

The Seussical kids!

We finally did the play or musical.  We had two shows, one Friday, January 19 and one Sunday, January 21rst.  That's me with the bright yellow wig on the middle left.  I was part of the Who chorus.  I was in a lot of numbers singing and dancing, but no lines.

You can see me on the right side-clumped with all the other Who's on Horton's clover.

Horton is front and center below.

 

 Here is a close up.  I am behind Andy (in red and a good friend of mine).  Oh, Mom did every single costume for this play.

 All the whos singing the "Who song".  We are super tiny and we need Horton to save us. 

Malia and I were the two yellow whos. 

 I had a really good time doing this. I have found since I have been doing Improvisation and taking dance lessons again that I have found theater to be a lot of fun!

Andy's awesome Birthday Party

My good friend Andy, celebrated his 11th birthday at iFly Seattle.  I was really excited to go...we checked in and went upstairs.  We watched a bunch of people flying before we were called to watch a video about what were were going to do and then we had to suit up.

 Andy went first

 Finally, it was my turn.  I was scared and excited!  

 

 It was about the most exciting thing that I have done!  We each had two turns.  The second turn, we got to go up high!  See the video.......

Last week of 2018

 Mom finished all her "Who hats"  for The Seussical.  I modeled them all for her since she will be delivering them to The Bridge School next week. (It's a Bridge School play).

Christmas was small, and quiet.  Aunt Megan, Uncle Patrick, cousin Maddox and my local grandpa came over.  It actually snowed on Christmas Eve and we had a white Christmas for two days.  

Dad and I got out and played in the snow.  We threw snowballs at the noisy dog next door-he ended up really liking the game!

We sparred at Hapkido-I'm in the red helmet, throwing a punch at Vu.

Una wore the ridiculous fun fur sweater!

And I got to jump in a stack of stuffed dogs at Ikea.  I am looking forward to 2018!

Dancing-again!

It has been quite awhile since I have taken a dance class.  The last one was ballet when I was 6.  I started taking musical theatre dance this fall.  Here I am doing a choreography from "Hairspray".
I really enjoy learning choreography. I plan on doing this through the whole school year.

Upcoming Suessical

I will be playing part of the Who Chorus for the Bridge School's musical in January of 2018.  Mom is making all of the costumes.

 This will be my wig.  

 This wig is Marlee's-also in the Who Chorus.

Sabrina is helping me model Mr. Mayor's wig and Mrs. Mayor's wig.

Uncle Colin, Aunt Lori, and Cousin Sophie came for a quick pre-christmas visit to Seattle.  We decided to use the Who wigs to remember the moment.
