Family visits

We had a nice visit with grandma and grandpa. They came up for Easter, and of course to hang out with me! It was also my school's spring break, but my parents decided to still enroll me in music camp held at my school. I think mama thought it would be nice to let grandma and grandpa have a break...but from what? From me? I can't be that exhausting. Grandma and grandpa even picked me up from camp! I was so happy to see them! We did many things while they were here. I decorated eggs with grandma, ate my first Peep (eh, just so-so), played with all my trucks with grandpa, many carousel rides at Bryant Park, experienced "Heard NY" by artist Nick Cave (they had special seating for families with kids, which was awesome!), made bread with grandma, and the finale of the trip...BOWLING! My family would never become professional bowlers, but I still have a chance.

Hi, remember me?

If you're reading this, I'm now 18 years old! No, it hasn't been that long, but it does feel like its been forever! Some are old(er), but all has been within the last entry. These will not be in chronological order.

Had another allergy test, and yep, still allergic to all nuts and dairy. The only difference this time is that I reacted a little less to peanuts than last time. But I still need to avoid them. Waiting for friends to come over for a Valentine's play date. Made necklaces for all of them! Papa took me into the city to watch my first shorts. First thing I do when visiting papa's office... Good thing mama didn't come this morning to drop me off at school. Caterpillars! She hates/fears them. Papa says that she becomes a completely different person when encountered with one. But mama says she's working on it. Time Square: I can check that off my list I've been enjoying my ceramics class after school. This is suppose to be me, ummmm..... Borrowed a classmate's dog for the weekend to see if I would have an allergic reaction. Prior to this, I took a test with the allergist, and I did react a tiny bit to dog dander. But I also had a tiny reaction to trees. So far, there hasn't been a problem with dogs.

Pretzels

Made some pretzels! I was really good at making the shape.

Christmas beach

Had another great time at the beach with grandma and grandpa! Rode my bike around the boardwalk, played on the beach, helped grandpa make a train, went swimming, and rode on every single one of those quarter-operated vehicle rides. We made a dinosaur on the beach. I didn't want to leave the beach with out it, because it would be too lonely. Sanding train wheels Steamy Oh, and those awesome vehicle rides? I had 10 minutes to ride all of them before they closed.
