We've been really busy.  My dad is getting ready to leave on deployment.  Here are some pictures of things we've been doing:

First, we went to 29 Palms to see some friends. 

We played in the pool.  It was hot there!

We went to Joshua Tree National Park.

Climbed some pretty cool rocks.

Went 4 wheeling:

Then, my dad was on predeployment leave and we went camping down at the beach!

This is dad and I flying kites:

Eating smores by the bonfire:

Playing in the water:

Digging in the sand:

A family picture.  This was our last day at the beach.  My dad got fried!

THEN, our friends from 29 Palms came here and we went to Soak City, which is a water park!

This was an awesome slide!  I FLEW down it!  That's me at the very bottom!

Me and our friends: 

This is mom and Mrs. Kristi.  Mom shouldn't have been on her stomach.  Her back got fried! 

We were STARVING!

THEN, my sister had a flute recital. 

So, that's why I haven't been on this blog in a long time.

This is me playing "Frere Jacques".  I was warming up before my teacher got here.

This is my teacher and I playing "Love Me Tender" by Elvis. Most of the time you have to go to a place to do your lesson but my teacher comes to our house.

I like playing the trumpet.  It is easy to learn and fun!

I went to my grandpa's courthouse and I saw a jail cell, prisoners coming off the bus, a court hearing, police motorcycle, jetski, horse,and a police dog and the dog is a black lab. It was fun. The male prisoners had to wear orange suits and the females had to wear blue suits.after We saw the prisoners we went and ate snack.

This is me in Judge Joe London's chair and me holding his gavel.

This is my grandpa, my sister, and I.

Yesterday was the first day my bowling league kept track of scores.  It was a lot of fun.  Even better, I am bowling with a set of twins on my team, and guess what?   They are both homeschooled! 

Here I am throwing a shot:

Me and my favorite ball!
