Hiking!!!!!

Me being the daring and adventurous person I am found a new pastime besides swimming! Aha, as you might have guessed yes it is HIKING! My family and I have started hiking the wondrous and mysterious trails of Raccoon Creek State Park. And my, there have been many treasures I have stumbled upon since starting to hike. On Sunday ma mere pere et moi found a waterfall/cave. Oh the joys! We also saw a man made part of forest that reminded me somewhat of the forbidden forest from Harry Potter. There are also instances I feel like I'm in Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia. Take your pick! I also thought of whether or not I would find refuge in the park in case of a Zombie Apocalypse. I think YES! (Although I might study up on sources of food)
Anyhow I'm completely rambling and must get to the main exhibit PICTURES!!!!!-H

Due to the massivity of the pictures I am not capable of captioning all of them so... it pretty much goes in chronological order.

Forbidden Forest

AH! Insanity!

Here I am patting myself and "H" on the back for the completion of our first time through of the Insanity Aerobic video thing that our crrr-azy swim coach (just kidding Zac!) made us do! It hurt so good!

Our foreheads were as wet as this window on a cold rainy day last week.

Ballet

I was at my weekly ballet lessons early last night, and tried to take some artistic shots while I waited for class to start.

Pointed foot.

Flexed feet.



A pointe shoe.



Third position.



Tap shoes.

Another Letdown....

Unfortunately things have just not been going my way. I didn't get what I had set out to do in the very first place. Even more so it seems that everyone else has gotten what I wanted. Now that may sound petty but honestly I couldn't care less. I'm not angry at them or anything. I'll get over it and work harder next year I suppose that's the only thing I can do.-H

I have a ton of flower pictures so I'm going to share some more.

WPIAL Championships

Just got home from the Western Pennsylvania Swimming Championships! I had a great day for swimming, not so much for pictures, though! It was a two day competition, but the sun was only out on Day 1 and I didn't have my camera! Oh well! Did the best I could!


This is where the meet took place.



The whole side wall is made up of all windows. Too bad it wasn't sunny!



This is supposedly a "fast" pool.



The pool is so big! Its dimensions are 25 yards x 50 meters!



Stakes were high for some swimmers, and they resorted to shaving their heads bald to be as fast as they could!

Good Luck!

I would just like to say good luck to all of our WPIAL swimmers today and tomorrow! Including our very own A! You guys are going to do great! And now here's some pictures.... -H

I climbed the Currituck Beach Lighthouse!

Crabs. We're learning about them in Health.

I wish a guy would give me flowers.....

Or even a picture of one....

One of the many Buddhas on my family's property.

Clearly I'm obsessed with flowers....

Clearly....

This sad flower reflects my disposition..... just kidding
