driving or not

M got her learner's permit.  Ack!

 Here she is getting dropped off for the first band competition of the year.  She's such a great kid.

zookeeper and section leader

 

 

We went to Gtowne so M could do a zookeeper experience. We got to play solitaire with grandma and visit with Calvin and Ann.

We were signed up for this earlier in the summer but they shut down the program when covid numbers were high.  The just barely opened it back up and we were able to get a day before school started.  M loved it.

Inside the armadillo enclosure!

M is a very enthusiastic section leader.  She participates in all the spirit days.  It's great for her to have this impact.

Camp Camp Camp

 M went on a trip to Nauvoo, then a week at camp using sign language.  The last two weeks she was at band camp.  This week she will be a counselor in training for a camp with the county naturalist.  The Monday after that she goes to Gtowne to be a zookeeper for a day.  She is busy!

Last night she went to see a movie with friends.  On the way I realized that she hadn't gone to a movie since we went to see Frozen 9 years ago.  I talked her through the ticket buying process and recommended she just watch how the people in front of her do it.

She took ASL and Driver's Ed through FLVS this summer and plans to get her Learner's Permit on Monday!

artsy

 M's been doing some fun creative work this summer.  She's also doing some piano, ASL and driver's Ed.

Girls camp and surf camp

M got to go rock climbing and have a lot of fun at girls camp.  She was a jock in the 4th year skit.

For her birthday she made her own sheet cake with whip cream decorations and strawberries.  She requested hamburgers for her birthday dinner.  Her big gift was a week of surf camp!

Epic cake to honor M for becoming section leader.

mini bag of babies

 I got M a mini IKEA bag last week.  She liked it and has filled it with mini plastic babies and sea creatures.  Everything is less than 1 inch.  So cute!
