At the end of June, 2011, my family and I went on The Dream {a new disney cruise} to celebrate my grandparents’ 45th anniversary! It was my parents, my sister, my dads two brothers, one of my dads brothers wife, and their two kids, my nana and grandpa, and my nana’s sister, and me. We saw Cars 2 in 3D right on the boat! I really enjoyed the Karaoke Nights! I came almost every night, so I was called the Karaoke Queen.
The kids club was also fun. They had a bunch of the characters come out like Lilo, Mickey, Donald, Minnie, and even Pluto! My favorite game that we played was called Gaga ball. You pass the ball with your hands, and try to hit people with it. The hard part is that you can’t kick the ball! But, the real excitement was the Aqua Duck. You want to get there while you are docked, because there are no lines! You can ride solo, or with a friend. But, I don’t want to spoil the magic for you!
As you know from some of my other posts, I am a HUGE Selena Gomez fan, and she just released a new album. Of course I have it!

At school, every grade got a special program written by our amazing music teacher, Mrs. Carter. The fourth grade program was called Indiana A to Z. It was a bunch of Indiana facts from the Amish to Zionsville! Everybody got a special part. I was an IU cheerleader. We met three times before school, and made up a cheer. There were also Butler cheerleaders and Purdue cheerleaders. My first choice was IU because my mom went there.
All fourth graders would practice during class at a different times. My class got a special oppurtunity as to reciting the Gettysburg Address in front of the whole audience. There are two shows. A dress rehearsel in front of the rest of the school during class, and one after school for the parents. We all got to dress up in pioneer outfits, and sing a lot of songs that we learn in music. All the fourth grade loves the programs that are put together.

The only day this week so far that I have gone to school is Monday, due to terrible weather. We had two ice blizzards two days in a row! The ice is two inches deep on my driveway, and it is SO slippery!!! So, to get the mail {Which is down my driveway}, I have to put on my snow pants, and SLIDE down the driveway! {very carefully} It is nearly impossible to get the ice off the driveway. We have to take really sharp shovels and just DIG them in there!
