Now this is what we Michiganians call fun!

Lydia says that Traverse city is her favorite city, so we thought we could make her like it even more. So today we showed Lydia some of our favorite things to do. We woke up and at about 10:00 we headed out for the farmers market in downtown T.C. We picked up a bunch of Rhubarb(yum) a bag of fresh lettuce (it included deli sh edible flowers) and a bunch of fresh local asparagus. We then headed to Macy's and my parents spent about an hour and a half looking for a new suit and of course a couple of extra things. They said they got a great deal, but I don't really see why a suit that costs 450 dollars is considered a "great deal" Even though Lydia and I got pretty bored we found entertaining things to do. (pretended we were Macy's manikins with the front door manikin, and spied on the scary grumpy cash register lady.) We then convinced our parents to get us ice cream because of how incredibly patient we were (works every time) and headed out to the boat dock on the bay. The water was like a giant ice cube but it was a gorgeas sunny day. Now, Lydia is obsessed with T.C.

The giggle Machine

Today my cousin Lydia came over. she just graduated from third grade and is nine years old. I was bored yesterday so we called Lydia and asked if she could come over for the week. So she's watching me type this right now and just giggled. She just giggled again, and again, and again. Well I guess what i just wrote is pretty funny! Lydia NEVER stops laughing. I mean she's cracking up right this second. She wanted to come to Traverse City because its her favorite city. Well gotta go. Lydia is having a laugh attack.

today i went to my bff jordan's house. We went to the mall but unfortunantly we had to squish into a seat next to a ninth grade boy. jordan's brother brandon had his basketball team in the car and jordan and i wernt very happy went we went around a leaning corner. I had to be the one sitting next to the boy. jordan got to sit in the seat next to the window. it was a great way to kick off the summer.

I am officially a president scholar!!!!!

Guess WHAT!!! Yesterday at the Eastern awards assembly I earned seven awards!!! These awards include art exellence (only awarded to 15 kids) the peacemaker award (a special club I am part of) the spirt club award (for having school spirit) the Ecology club award (for helping to recycle in my school) the Citizenship award (i got a cool fancy gold pin for that one) a service award (for helping to be a cross guard for my school) and most importantly... I got an award that I am officially a president scholar! To only 20 kids the president sent a letter to the top 20 kids who get good grades at my school. So they called up my name and I got a certificate and a letter signed by George Bush himself!!!! I am very excited for the things they awarded me.
