Stand up Paddle boarding

I got the pictures from the stand up paddle boarding and kayaking day.

Stand up paddle boarding.

This is my favorite picture.

Since I don't have any pictures of me kayaking, here's the next best thing. A picture of me stand up paddle boarding being photo bombed by a kayak paddle!

During my the stand up paddle boarding trip, I completed two goals. One, I didn't fall off my paddle board. Two, I touched a bee and did not get stung.

And I still need to get my camp pictures.

Back to School

We went back to school last week. I'm blogging because I made a new goal to blog once a week on during the school year (which so far, I haven't done so good on).

Nothing that interesting happened at school the last week. We started playing in Advanced Band (that is now called Wind Symphony because it sounds more formal and professional), we took our first math test (I hope I did okay), and we did a neighborhood run (which is basically a 1.5 +or- a bit mile run around the outside of the school campus).

Last Saturday, one of my sisters had a birthday party. At the party, we did tie dye (which is always fun and a bit messy).

I tie dyed a shirt.

I used red tie dye because I wanted a red shirt, but it turned out pink. Oh well.

And I also tie died socks.

I love socks.

On Sunday, I went stand up paddle boarding and kayaking with a friend from school.
I don't have the pictures from her yet, but I will post them when I get them.

One of my new favorite things to do now is tie die, even though I've only done it twice.

Camp!

I went to camp from a couple weeks ago. In this camp, you spent the night, rode horses, did archery, did art, completed challenge courses, tried high rope courses, stand up paddle boarded, and kayaked.

There are no pictures from camp because I didn't bring a camera.

                        

I came to camp with 3 other good friends from school. Luckily, we all got in the same tent, so we were able to sleep and hang out together.

I was in a horse back riding program. The first horse I rode wanted to go fast. He wanted to walk out and be faster than the other horses. That was a problem as we were third in line (there was a line of us walking our horses) and the two horses in  front of us were moving very slowly. On our next horse ride, we went on a trail ride. The horse I was riding wanted to trot and touch the horse in front (the touching the horse in front was according to one of my friends).

When we did the "paddle section of our trip we went to a harbor where we divided our time paddle boarding and kayaking. I think I liked stand up paddle boarding best. In our stand up paddle boarding time, we learned how to turn, paddle, and we played a game in which we switched paddle boards with a partner. In our entire lesson, I fell off twice. When we kayaked, we learned to paddle, turn, stop, and we did a relay race. During our kayaking lesson, we saw a seal barking at some people who were trying to get in their boat.
