Bottle rockets

Last week was bottle rocket design day at Cub Scouts. Let's see how they fly: 

Wow, that's higher than I expected, and with just a little water and a bike pump. I guess you don't need rocket fuel. 

Still gotta dance

What's more fun than dancing? Dancing and snorting.

It's a jungle out there

Remember that play I said we were doing at school? This week was curtain's up for our performance. And we nailed it, naturally. 

I was with the hyenas. The role required a lot of laughing at nothing, which isn't easy. But, at least I mastered my line. 

Of course, we had our own song too. 

And at the end I got to thank my costume designer for her excellent work. I'd say it was a pretty successful run for the show. 

 

Blockbuster idea

I think it's a pretty faithful interpretation of the movie. I mean, I haven't seen it, but I have seen the poster.

Track and field, 2019

I'm back on the spring track team this year, which means a new set of meets and a whole lot of different events. Here I am doing my best javelin toss. 

And here's a look at my first 100-meter dash of the year:

And here I am for the 400-meter later on. It's the longest I've ever run at a meet, so I was pretty proud to make it to the end. 

Dad says he'll keep track of my times to see if I improve over the season. I'm pretty sure I will.

Costume fitting day

Grandmom Shane found out I'm going to be a hyena in my upcoming school play, so she got to work immediately. It's nice to have a personal expert tailor in the family. Everyone should get one. 

New ballet shoes

A girl has to have the right equipment for the job. These pick shoes will do nicely. See?
