Paw Paw and Gung Gung took us to Vancouver and Squamish up in Canada. I loved the food in Vancouver and the hotel in Squamish was fantastic. There were two "rooms" and Brendan and I took the pull-out couch in the living room. We had our very own TV!!!!! That was so cool. There was also a swimming pool nearby and a lake. We saw some big trees and a waterfall too.
Seattle here we come. Finally finished Dance Camp after almost 30 hours of dancing (over 5 days). And now up to see Paw Paw and Gung Gung and Brendan too!
Thanks for Paw Paw and Gung Gung, Brendan and I got to fly....I loved it! Mom said they our skin is so nice. All the adults' faces fluttered in the wind...but not ours. Still nice and plump. :) We were the smallest fliers in our group. I wish I could do it again.
Checking out the instructor in the group before ours.
Okay, we're in the chamber waiting room...
Here I go!
Look Ma, no hands!
See that big smile?
Thumbs up!
Picture for Dad
I'm doing okay
My instructor Matt J was amazing. He flew with everyone at least one time.
He would hang on and bring us up and spin around and around. If he wasn't
holding on, we wouldn't be able to go up that high.
Look at us!
Round and round, up and down.
Thanks Paw Paw and Gung Gung. That was a fun ride!!!
Here is Mom's video of my first flight. The iFly people made another video, but it will be mailed to us, so wait for the update in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy this clip of my flight.
We had a fun weekend watching fireworks. First, we went to our first baseball game. It was the San Jose Giants vs the Lake Elsinore Storm. Don't know who they are or where that is. Oh well, it was pretty fun. It was a sunny day, but thankfully, not a scorcher. We had hats and sunblock to get us through it. Oh, and frozen yogurt, cold drinks, churros, and garlic fries. Yup. That's right.
The Mascot messed with me and my hat.
He took it.
And put it on his giant head. Is it clean?
The anticipation is building.....it's getting dark.
Oh, and a run around the bases.
The next night, we went to Great America for more fireworks. We actually didn't spend very much time in the park. That afternoon, we all took a giant nap, so we could stay up later than usual. We got a couple hours before and went on a ride or two. Then walked around and waited for the fireworks to start. The fireworks were awesome.
You wouldn't believe. Little me...I got to open, yes, for the first few seconds all by myself, I opened the show. 3 times. It was pretty awesome. I wasn't nervous at all and knew exactly where center stage was as I walked out onto stage in darkness....
Mom prepped our shoes, made sure they were clean and laces ready to go
Showtime!
Okay, they had us set up our changing area...in the men's room.
Thankfully, it wasn't stinky...and there was a shower room we used
so we didn't have to be by the urinals. Yuck.
Ready to hit the stage.
Here is the video of me opening the show. So sorry it's blurry, Mom didn't realize it was out of focus because she was watching me, not the camera. And, videotaping wasn't allowed either. We'll get a real copy of the DVD later, but this is a preview....
Something is wrong with the video embedding, so here is a link to the movie....
Here is another clip. I had my own pre-show rehearsal....
so I would know what to do, and where the curtain was going to be...
And a big thanks to Auntie Sarah, Uncle Kelvin, Logan, Tristan, Addison, Auntie Betty, Uncle Joel, Larkin, Joie, Uncle Chris, Auntie Susan, Jenna, Lindsay and Enzo for coming to watch us perform.
This year, Mom got us passes to Great America. My brother and I are done with places like the Children's Museum and Happy Hollow. We need more stuff. Unfortunately, B is short, so he can't get on a lot of the rides he'd like to get on. He still has fun, but I can't wait for him to grow several inches so we can ride rides together.
Super speed.
This is a video of us on the logger run ride. It's Dad, Brendan, me...
