Skye Bike!!

I love the Sky Bike at the Franklin Institute.



The sky bike is almost touching the ceiling and it has a weight at the bottom to balance you! There's also a net below you and a seatbelt.



To get across on the Sky Bike, you have to ride on a metal rope. You can't steer it. All you can do is pedal and the pedals are hard to push when you are going backwards. When you go forward, you can go as fast as you want.




I wasn't tall enough over the summer but I am now.

Christmas

Merry Christmas 2008!




Hanna loves leggings.




Heather thinks her new pajama pants are perfect for school.

and Dutch babies for breakfast - yum!

Us ... 2008

Halloween

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell say, "Happy Halloween!"


I wanted to be Tinkerbell because she's quiet and I'm shy. My mommy and me sewed it by measuring the cloth. It was so soft I thought it could be a blanket. But the glittery part was itchy.


My mom went to Red White and Blue (one of the best thrift stores in our area) and got me a green shirt and a pair of pants. When I got home from school I put my costume on and my mom cut it to be like leaves. Then we made my hat. I had a wonderful Halloween.


Dorothy Parker stopped by on her way to NYC and went trick-or-treating with us for a little while.



After we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, we had lots of candy. Some friends came over and we traded candy with them. Our neighbor had a kind of haunted house in the backyard. They scared us. I lost the feather in my hat. We looked for it the next day and found it in the street.

Then we all dressed up again and went to another party. Papa was a pirate, Mama wore her farm clothes and we put our costumes on again.

Soccer (part 97)

Did you know I play soccer? My team is light blue. My best friend Rachel plays soccer too.




Did you know we play soccer? This is my team. We are light blue.

Baby Dylan

This is my cousin, Baby Dylan (and my Uncle Joel.)






My mom and Aunt Sarah went to go see him. Heather and I wanted to go too. We had to go to school.






I think he looks cute.

On the road again

Soccer started again. This is my travel team, the Hurricanes.

Our team got new uniforms with our name on it.



Sometimes, at my soccer games, my mom lets Hanna takes pictures with her camera. I can't tell what's happening -- it's too fuzzy!

Summer, Summer, Summertime ...

... time to sit back and unwind.


Read a book ...



... pick a bouquet of wild flowers ...




... and eat lots of blackberries!

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

When we went to the farmer's market, my mom saw peaches. I told her to buy a huge basket of them. She wanted to buy a medium basket but I told her to get the biggest basket. She did and then we had to help her freeze them all.



Hanna was peeling the skins off.



I was slicing the peaches.



Now they go in the freezer and in the winter we eat frozen peaches. It's better than ice cream!



There's a song about peaches that we sing. We made up another one about donuts.

Old Barney

We climbed to the top of this lighthouse called Barnegat Lighthouse. It has 217 steps and was very windy at the top.

Sunrise

Fantasy Island

We went to an amusement park. First, we went on a dragon rollercoaster. Then we played some games. They were fun but we didn't win anything.

This ride was called the Sea Dragon. Can you find me and my dad? I liked it alot but my sister stayed on the ground!

Beach Days

Jersey girls love the Shore!
